Our Beautiful Kores Estate

Argolis, Greece

Rooted in the Argolis. Grown with Purpose.

Nestled in the sun-drenched hills of the Argolis region of Greece, the Kores Estate is where our story begins — and where every bottle of Olive Crate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is born.

For generations, our family has cultivated this historic land, home to the prized Manaki olive variety — a cultivar celebrated for its exceptionally low acidity, rich polyphenol content, and the distinctly smooth, fruity flavor it lends to our oil.

From Grove to Bottle — Nothing in Between

We believe great olive oil starts long before the press. Our olives are grown without pesticides or chemicals, nourished entirely by natural irrigation and the generous Greek sun. At peak ripeness, they are hand-harvested with care — then cold-pressed within hours to lock in every antioxidant, every nuance of flavor, and every health benefit the Manaki olive has to offer.

This is what First Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil truly means: no shortcuts, no compromises, no additives. Just the land, the olive, and generations of expertise.

Eco-Sustainability Is Not a Trend — It's Our Heritage

Long before "sustainable" became a marketing word, it was simply how our family farmed. We work in harmony with the land — protecting the soil, conserving water, and letting nature lead. The Kores Estate is a living ecosystem, and we intend to keep it that way for generations to come.

From Our Family Grove to Your Table

When you open a bottle of Olive Crate, you're opening a connection to this place — to the ancient groves, the Greek light, and the hands that have tended this land with love. We're proud to share it with you.
