Description
Makaria Terra EVOOMakaria Terra is the family’s olive grove which is located in the village of Skala, in the region of Messinia in the Peloponnese at an altitude of 340 metres. 2000 olive trees of Koroneiki variety are cultivated in the area called Makaria terra (=blessed land), which takes its name from antiquity due to the particular properties of the soil and the unique microclimate.
With respect to the family tradition, the olive trees are cultivated with the minimum human interference without the addition of chemical pesticides and artificial irrigation for watering. The olive harvest begins in early November while the fruit is still unripe. The oil extraction in the local mill follows the cold pressed method while the juice is then stored in stainless steel tanks in a controlled temperature in order to preserve all its beneficial properties and aromas.
The variety cultivated for the production of Makaria Terra EVOO is Koroneiki.
