We proudly contribute to the ecosystem of the island of Lesvos

and the microclimate of Sigri. During the past years, and every time we have the opportunity, we plant new olive trees. By planting new trees, we protect the environment from desertification. With our support to nature, where it was once a dry place now there is life.

Our estate has many different native trees as well as many varieties from around the world. We plant new baby trees over the past 10 years and continue to do so. Our Olive cultivars consist of a selective range of trees, each of them giving a distinctive characteristic to the olive oil. Adramytiani, Kolovi, Koroneiki, Kalamon, Chalkidikis, Mavroelia, Arbequina, FS17, Leccino, Aricombi, Picual, Melolia.

Part of what makes our cultivation so unique is that we enrich the terrain with Organic Posidonia seaweed compost. We cultivate traditionally (6m x 6m), so that each tree is fully nourished through the sun and ground. Our harvest method of vibration is the most tree friendly technique.

By cultivating Olive trees, having Certified Organic Plantations and caring for nature as a whole, our Faros Estate has become home to thousands of birds and animals, contributing to biodiversity and the ecosystem of the island of Lesvos.

The Ol-eve hand

Ol- means all, symbolizing the eternal connection between human and nature.

“Ol-eve” is Olive for the earth.

“Ol-eve” is Eve for the human.

A hand, touching the tree and its fruits, with respect and admiration to one of the greatest gifts given to humans, the olive oil. The hand posture expresses the care of the farmer to the olive tree, in return for what it offers.

Our Olive Mill

From the growth of the tree & the olive, to the production, standardization, storage & promotion of the olive oil, we have streamlined the process. What makes Sigri Olive Mill unique is the linear production with predetermined parameters for production conditions depending on the Quality, Variety and Degree of ripeness of the olive.
