For Greece and its people, the olive tree represents not only a sacred tree producing a nutritious and aromatic food but also a symbol associated with Greek civilization and peace. As such it was presented as a trophy (olive branch) to the winners in all the Olympic contests.<\/h3>\r\n<h3>In Greece today the cultivation of olive trees is evident in most parts of the country. Continuous efforts in specific methods of production are being made to sustain the quality of extra virgin olive oil (the epitome of olive oil). Our focus is on disseminating the art of olive oil production, of the highest quality \u2013 extra virgin \u2013 and on the development of an open channel of communication between the producer and consumer.<\/h3>\r\n<h3>The history of the cultivation of olive trees is intricately meshed with man\u2019s development and his respect and devotion to the art of olive oil production. Our extensive search in Greece for the different varieties of olives and special brands for extra virgin olive oil resulted in the quality that Epitome represents and offers.<\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;181407&#8243; el_id=&#8221;the-idea-second-section-row&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;112663&#8243; el_id=&#8221;the-idea-second-section-column1&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;86643&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;128168&#8243; el_id=&#8221;the-idea-second-section-dimitris-image&#8221;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;86641&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;136601&#8243; el_id=&#8221;the-idea-second-section-dimitris-sign&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;287183&#8243; el_id=&#8221;the-idea-second-section-dimitris-name-text&#8221;]\r\n<h3>Dimitris Sarantopoulos<\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;194389&#8243; el_id=&#8221;the-idea-second-section-column2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;704509&#8243; el_id=&#8221;the-idea-second-section-about-dimitris-text&#8221;]\r\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">A high-level professional with many years of experience in the retail and sales management, Dimitris Sarantopoulos is the founder and operating officer of Olive Epitome.
