About
Roots in Tradition, Eyes on the Future
Sustaining Heritage Through Innovation
At Mikri Elia, our journey is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of our ancestors. Every olive tree in our olive groves tells a story of resilience, growth, and harmony with the earth. Nurturing these trees continuously is central to our philosophy, resulting in extra virgin olive oil that is as rich in history as it is in flavor. By maintaining the traditional Mediterranean character of our olive groves and employing sustainable practices, we ensure that each bottle of Mikri Elia olive oil reflects the full essence of our heritage and values.
Meet George and Argyro
passion for nature, tradition,
and family legacy
We are George and Argyro, a couple with a shared passion for nature, travel, and good food. Our journey with Mikri Elia began when the family's traditional olive groves, located in mountainous Ilia for over four generations, were transferred to Argyro by her mother.
Our olive groves is located in Nea Figaleia, a locale between the Temple of Epicurean Apollo and the ancient Olympia, in a landscape of emblematic beauty surrounded by arbutus, pine, and oak trees. This rugged, stony landscape of Ilia cradles our olive groves, a living testament to our family's enduring legacy and our ancestors' bond with the land.
In these groves, every olive tree tells a story — stories of resilience, growth, and harmony with the earth. Our philosophy blends time-honored practices with innovative, sustainable approaches to farming, ensuring that each olive harvested carries within it the purity of nature and the dedication of our family. This continuous cycle of nurturing and growth underlines our philosophy at Mikri Elia, as we strive to produce olive oil that is as rich in history as it is in flavor, bringing the essence of nature directly to your table.
