Kapeli – Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil
In the heart of mountainous Ilia, on the Foloi Plateau at an altitude of 600–630 meters, stretches the mythical oak forest known locally as Kapeli — often called the “balcony of Ilia.”
The name “Kapeli” comes from the local word meaning “dense forest,” as the plateau is dominated by oak trees spread across vast areas, forming one of the rarest oak forests in the Balkans.
Our olive groves face this living landscape — our estate lies at the base of the forest, on the fertile land of the region. For us, “Kapeli” is more than a local term: it is a symbol of tradition, the fertility of the land, and respect for natural heritage.
With this in mind, we connect the land, the forest, and our cultivation: our olive trees live, grow, and bear fruit in this environment — and the identity of our company and our product is rooted in this unique land and its history.
