Our Reviews

Dimitris-My family, husband Nick and sons Dimitrios and Lukas and myself recently enjoyed the tour and olive oil tasting. We found it very informative. We would like to thank you and your staff for the great dinner recommendation in Tripi. What a great place to have dinner one of the last nights of our vacation. We will be sure to mention our experience to our family in Greece.
Thank you for a great experience.

Hi. So great to hear from you.
I don’t have much to compare it to. I thought it was great. I liked how you showed us the entire process, explained it well and easily answered our questions. The tasting was amazing. I was impressed with how we compared several types of oils and the different foods we tasted them on. I learned so much about how the different oils taste and how the foods we pair them with changes the taste of the oils and the food. It was just so great.
I liked how you gave us a little food in the factory. I was getting hungry!!
You were so accommodating with driving us, putting our oil in another container that travels better, and, inviting us out to enhance our Greek experience. I felt very taken care of.
My feedback is to keep doing what you’re doing. I don’t know what you can change.
