Regional sourcing
theGreex sources Greek olive oil exclusively from two regions, Crete and the Peloponnese, the two areas that together produce most of Greece's premium extra virgin volume. Every shipment carries a clear regional and varietal identity.
Crete
Dominated by the Koroneiki variety. Fruity, herbal and moderately peppery, with high polyphenol content in mountain and early-harvest lots. Suited to premium retail EVOO, gourmet gifting and PGI Crete programmes.
Peloponnese
Home of PDO Kalamata olive oil. Predominantly Koroneiki, often blended with Athinolia or Manaki for complexity. Balanced fruit and pepper, versatile across retail, HoReCa premium pours and private label.

Frequently asked questions
- What free acidity level should I expect from your extra virgin olive oil?
- Our standard EVOO ships at ≤0.5% free acidity, well inside the EU legal ceiling of 0.8%. Premium early-harvest and PDO Kalamata lots typically fall between 0.15% and 0.30%, with peroxide values below 10 mEq O₂/kg. A full chemical panel is issued per production batch.
- Are your Greek olive oils high in polyphenols?
- Yes. Koroneiki-dominant lots from Crete and the Peloponnese routinely test between 350 and 700 mg/kg total polyphenols, and selected early-harvest lots exceed the 250 mg/kg threshold required to carry the EU Regulation 432/2012 health claim on hydroxytyrosol.
- When is the Greek olive-oil harvest and when is fresh stock available?
- Harvest runs from mid-October to late December, depending on region and altitude. Fresh unblended oil is available from late November; PDO and PGI lots are certified through the winter and consistently available from January onwards for the full production year.
- Do you ship bulk olive oil in flexitanks, or only bottled?
- Both. Bulk moves in food-grade 22,000 L flexitanks or 1,000 L IBCs and stainless-steel drums, with pre-shipment samples sealed at the tank. Bottled formats cover glass, tin and PET in 250 ml to 5 L, and we can also arrange bottling at destination against a bulk contract.
- What is the difference between PDO Kalamata and PGI Crete olive oil?
- PDO Kalamata is a defined micro-region in the Peloponnese with strict varietal and organoleptic controls. Like every olive oil we supply, it is produced from the Koroneiki variety, not from the Kalamon table olive, and it gives a robust, peppery profile. PGI Crete covers the wider Cretan production zone, typically Koroneiki-led, with a fruitier and more herbal character. Both are protected under EU Regulation 1151/2012.
- How should extra virgin olive oil be stored in a warehouse and in-store?
- Store between 14 and 18°C, away from direct light and strong odours, and keep sealed cases upright. Retail shelves should avoid spotlights that raise bottle temperature. Under these conditions our EVOO holds its sensory profile for 18 months and its chemistry for up to 24 months from bottling.
- Can you supply organic (BIO) certified Greek olive oil?
- Yes. Our organic EVOO carries EU organic certification with the leaf logo and a control-body code, and USDA NOP or JAS equivalents are available for specific producers. A transaction certificate is issued per shipment so the organic chain of custody is auditable end-to-end.
- What are realistic first-order volumes for olive oil?
- A full 20-foot container carries roughly 20,000 L in bulk or 12–14 pallets bottled. Because we consolidate producers, a first bottled order can start at 2–3 pallets on a groupage sailing, then scale to FCL as sell-through is confirmed.
- Can you support private-label olive oil bottling with our artwork?
- Yes. Typical private-label MOQs start at 3,000–5,000 bottles per SKU for 500 ml glass, with lower runs on selected formats. We manage artwork, front and back label compliance for your market, capsule and cap colour, and coordinate first-article approval before the run.
- Do you offer flavoured and infused olive oils for retail programmes?
- Yes. Basil, garlic, lemon, mint and chilli infusions are produced by cold maceration on an EVOO base, without artificial flavourings. Retail glass runs from 100 ml gift formats to 250 ml everyday bottles, and gift sets can be assembled to your brief.
