Smertolia of Sparta
A rare variety, ancient as History, authentic as the place that gave birth to it: a true Spartan.
Same as the people of Lakonia, it is resilient and… frugal, very resistant to both cold and drought. Acclimated to the conditions and the microclimate of the area, for centuries now, it has been bearing small, precious, healthy fruit, with a strong flavour that stands out.
Our century-old olive grove in Krokees, with soil conditions unique in the world, consists of olive trees of this very variety of such strong personality, rooted in “Krokean stone,” a special stone, tough and hard to tame. You will find it no place else.
“Smertolia” produces extra virgin olive oil of top nutritional value confirmed by its high content in polyphenols. It yields high-quality juice, but not in large quantity.
Entirely fitting to our philosophy and to the way in which we have been producing, distinctive extra virgin olive oils that are worthy of your trust.

Our family and the olive tree
The Christakos family and the olive tree have a long, personal history that goes back generations, not just years. The land and the trees have always been our compass, our point of reference.
The roots from the past steadily pointing to the future. The source of life not just for our unique land, but also for us. Since forever.
This tradition has never been broken, not even when our family opened up to new countries and other continents. Quite the opposite, it grew stronger.
Because with olive trees and our homeland deeply rooted in our heart and our DNA, it was only a matter of time before we heard their calling and picked it up where those before us had left it.
We believe in the power of the olive tree, of its fruit and its juice.
We are inspired by our homeland and its unique gifts.
We only offer the very things you’ll find on our own table every single day.
We are driven by the idea of sharing with the rest of the world what we have been enjoying for generations.

Welcome to our family!
