EVOO Harvest Windows and Regenerative Transformation

Extra Virgin Olive Oil represents far more than a culinary staple. It is the direct outcome of precise agricultural decisions, environmental stewardship, and a profound understanding of the olive’s natural cycle. At Oleve, produced at the Sigri Olive Mill on the Faros Estate in Sigri, Lesvos, Greece, every bottle reflects a deliberate commitment to quality, traceability, and sustainability.

In two educational videos, Nutritionist-Dietitian Aliona Stratoulat and Exports Manager Lambros Belesakos of Oleve explain the fundamental principles that define exceptional EVOO.

The History and Philosophy of Sigri Olive Mill – Tradition, Technology, and Landscape Restoration
The Principles of Olive Oil Production – The Harvest Window

The timing of the olive harvest — commonly referred to as the “harvest window” — is one of the most decisive factors in determining the sensory profile, nutritional density, and functional properties of the resulting EVOO.

Premium EVOO is created through the deliberate integration of scientific understanding, traditional knowledge, and environmental responsibility.

At Sigri Olive Mill, these principles converge to produce the range of Oleve EVOOs — oils that honour both the heritage of Lesvos and the demands of contemporary quality and sustainability standards.

We invite you to watch the two videos above to hear the experts directly and to explore how thoughtful production practices translate into superior EVOO.
