meet mill.o.petres

Mill.o.petres is the modern “version” of the Old Olive Oil Mill of 1962, which came back to life in 2016, following the initiative of its current owner Michalis Chavales.

This traditional method is based on olive oil produced by pressing the olives on millstones, a remarkable part of the cultural heritage of the place which we have an obligation to preserve and pass on to the next generations.

The knowledge and of course the many years of experience in the cultivation and production of olive oil, combined with the dedication and passion for the product, are the main and key ingredients that compose and orchestrate the vision for a quality and unique product. For the entire team behind mill.o.petres, it is important to connect tradition with innovation and at the same time to preserve the traditional way of oil producing.

OLIVE OIL MILL

The modern production unit was established at the beginning of 2016. The olive oil mill operates according to the traditional methods of slow production combined with advanced technology. The antioxidant properties of the olive fruit, the main ingredient of the Mediterranean Diet, have been shown to contribute significantly to longevity. Back then, olive oil production was a slow and difficult process. However, the beneficial components of the olive fruit were not destroyed or eliminated. This observation was enough to motivate them to introduce the “olive fruit extract”, a completely innovative product that stands out from other olive fruit products in terms of its unique health benefits. The entire specialized team is focused on corporate stability and responsibility, consistency and quality, with a deep commitment to creating a product that offers a huge amount of beneficial ingredients. The fundamental goal is to create a product of unsurpassed quality while meeting the strictest international safety and hygiene standards. At the heart of the business is the production of the "olive fruit extract" with unparalleled high phenols content, as well as its promotion in international consumer markets.
