We proudly offer a wide selection of olive tree varieties, produced by our partner Phytogonia—the first nursery in Greece authorized to produce and distribute patented varieties from Spain’s IRTA (Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentàries).
Available all commercial varieties of olive trees.
Arbequina clone IRTA‐i∙18®
Virgin oil characterized by its perfect balance, with a distinct fruitiness and a clear sweetness in the mouth. Secondary aromas can be identified, reminiscent of green grass and green almonds, along with some ripe fruit notes.
Although the bitterness is not very high, this virgin oil is usually richer in oleic acid and polyphenols than other Arbequina oils, resulting in higher stability against rancidity.
Koroneiki clone IRTA‐i∙38®
Sharp virgin oil characterized by green fruitiness and numerous secondary aromas, reminiscent of leaves and vegetables like artichoke. The mouthfeel is distinctly pungent, bitter, and astringent. The final sweetness provides a certain balance to the oil. Its chemical composition is rich in oleic acid and polyphenols, resulting in high bitterness and stability.
IRTA Varieties: Exclusively for high‐density plantations. Planting dimensions are 1.5x1.5meters in rows and 4‐5 meters between rows. These varieties support different pruning methods, are suitable for mechanical harvesting, and require a strict planting form. They provide very high yields.
Varieties without an IRTA patent are suitable for traditional plantation methods, allowing for variations in planting systems and distances.
