Olive Oil in Ancient Greece
Olive oil was one of the fundamental elements of the diet, culture, and daily life of the Ancient Greeks. Its presence permeated dietary habits, religious rituals, medical practices, and daily self-care.
Our Story
“ERIFOS” embodies the shared passion for olive oil production and sustainability. The company’s roots are deeply tied to the picturesque village of Kremmydia, where the family’s extensive olive groves thrive. Our journey spans four generations of dedication to olive oil production, inspired by our great-grandfather, who operated a traditional stone mill ("liotrivi"), preserving the art of olive oil production for generations.
