Description

The Michelis Estate is located in Alexandroupoli, on the slopes of the Konos hill, where the sea breeze of the Thracian Sea, the altitude and the shale subsoil form the basis of the microclimate of the area. The olive grove is continuously enriched with olive trees of the local variety.

The Michelis family has been active in the olive oil industry since the 1930s, in this specific location, continuously evolving the entire production line while enriching its knowledge in order to promote the special characteristics of the local variety.

The olive harvest begins in November, with methods that ensure the integrity and the rapid concentration of the fruit. Cold pressed oil extraction begins right after the harvest in the family’s modern mill within the boundaries of the olive grove. The final product is finally stored unfiltered in stainless steel tanks for a given period of time under controlled room temperature before bottling.

The variety cultivated for the production of Konos Premium Edition EVOO is Makri.
