The fruit that became a symbol of the land
For centuries, the olive tree has been rooted deep in the soul of the Greek landscape. In Ilia—and particularly in Agios Ilias—the Monobolia family cultivates organic olive groves with care and respect, continuing a tradition that spans generations. The olive oil produced here is more than just a product; it is a vessel of memory, nature, and life.
The region offers ideal conditions: mild Mediterranean climate, rich soil, and gentle sea breezes from the Ionian. Each tree is grown without chemicals or intensive practices, and the olives are hand-harvested at just the right moment to preserve their freshness, aroma, and valuable nutrients.
The authentic taste of the Ionian
The Monobolia family’s olive oil is cold-pressed, extra virgin, and stands out for its low acidity, balanced taste, and intense aromas. Its flavor reveals notes of freshly cut greens, artichoke, green almond, and tomato—traits that reflect both the quality of the cultivation and the purity of nature.
Produced in limited quantities, this oil retains its authenticity and high nutritional value in every drop. More than a staple of the Mediterranean diet, it is a daily reminder of what health, flavor, and tradition truly mean.
