Olive oil is a family affair in Greece. At Tatiana's, olives have been cultivated since the 19th century. The oldest trees in Saidona are over 200 years old. The main variety, here as in Greece generally, is "koroneiki". It is a productive variety which, when pressed once, gives an oil of exceptional quality. While it is resistant to drought, it cannot withstand heavy frost. The olive tree appreciates the passing water, but not the stagnant water, which explains the arrangement of the terraced fields. The trees develop a complex root system, call it 'xerikes elies' - olive trees of dry climate - where irrigation is not necessary. We often harvest them as a familly from November to January. The fruits picked at early maturity by hand guarantee a very unique quality of the product. In fact, there is a lack of mechanization, mainly due to the fact that the trees have always been cultivated in small family plots that are difficult to access because of the relief of the terrain and the stones. But the result is an oil with a pronounced taste, which is the expression of a mountainous soil that faces the South. An oil with a type, with a more or less ardent green fruit depending on the terrain, obtained only by mechanical processes, in a cooperative or private press where we store our stainless steel tanks for good conservation before bottling.
