Efthimiadi Estate is managed ‘with meraki’ by Iris & Sam, who met while enjoying successful careers in London. In October 2008, they chose to give up their comfortable salariesto return home to honour her father’s memory by rejuvenating and tending the cherished family olive grove. To build a business of value to their family, the local rural economy and above all to the consumer with a commitment to quality and diversity.
Iris’s father dared to experiment and planted a diverse range of olive varieties from the four corners of Greece, to see how each variety would develop. If only he was alive today to see what his vision has become and see how all the varieties have flourished. It is this field-blend of varieties together with fastidious management and ideal terroir that gives Eliris its unique signature and rare qualities.
