Since the Antiquity, the olive tree, its fruit and olive oil have maintained a special place in Greek rural life. The olive tree is a sacred tree, symbolizing abundance, peace, knowledge, wisdom and health. 

One of the oldest olive trees in the world is located in Corfu and counts one hundred and fifty centuries of life. Olive trees are trees that can reach up to millennia of life, they stand proud and tell stories of the past, when the world was very different from the one we know today.

In the Corfiot countryside the olive tree has always been a symbol of value and culture. Olive production developed rapidly during the Venetian occupation, since the Venetians ordered and financed the planting of olive groves throughout the island.

Corfu currently counts more than 4 million olive trees, which contributes and enhances both the production and trade of olive oil and olives.

The Stamatelos family continues with passion and love this long tradition of producing virgin olive oil, extra virgin olive oil and olive products.
