A Legacy Rooted in Sunshine

Our story began over a century ago on the sun-drenched hills of Crete, where our great-grandmother, Eleni, first cultivated the olive groves that we still harvest today.

She believed that the perfect olive was a gift from the sun—a small vessel of flavor nurtured by the land and harvested with respect. This simple, profound philosophy has been passed down through generations.

Today at Helia Olives, we honor her legacy by blending age-old traditions with modern, sustainable practices to bring that timeless Grecian taste to your kitchen.

How Our Passion Delivers Quality

From the grove to your table, every step is handled with the highest standards of care and precision to ensure an unparalleled taste experience.

1. Olive Growth

Our olives begin their journey in sun-drenched, family-owned groves where traditional farming practices ensure harmony with nature.

2. Harvest with Care

Each olive is harvested by hand at the perfect stage of ripeness to ensure optimal flavor, texture, and a blemish-free fruit.

3. Reception of Olives

Upon arrival at our facility within hours of harvest, the olives are carefully inspected and sorted to accept only the highest quality fruit.

4. Quality Tests

Our in-house lab performs rigorous tests on every batch, checking for size, firmness, and flavor profile to meet our exacting standards.

5. Fermentation

The olives undergo a slow, natural curing process in brine. This time-honored method removes bitterness and cultivates their rich, nuanced flavor.

6. Selection Process

Post-curing, every single olive is hand-sorted once more to ensure that only the most perfect olives proceed to the next stage.

7. Processing

Olives are processed according to their variety—some are pitted, some are stuffed, all are handled with the utmost care by our skilled team.

8. Packaging & Logistics

Our state-of-the-art packaging line ensures freshness and safety. Olives are jarred, sealed, and prepared for their journey to you.

9. Retail Ready

From our family groves to your table, Helia Olives are ready to be enjoyed, bringing an authentic taste of Greece to your home.
