Origin
history: The olive grove was planted by our ancestors and is a property of
Dafnis family. It is situated in the south-western part of Corfu, around the
byzantine fortress of Gardiki (12th century) in the protected Natura region of
Korission lagoon.
It
was created by an “ancient” and so far unknown Corfiot olive forest variety
called “Lianolia”, which has been for centuries native to the north of the
Ionian Sea and the southern Adriatic Sea. It is therefore the First
single-variety(monovarietal) “Lianiolia” olive oil in the global market.
“The
Governor” is one of the fewest olive oils in the world that has been awarded a
“health claim” report!
Producer
Story: It began as a VISION and fervent desire of Dafnis family that
after years of arduous endeavours and research is now coming into being...
It
combines in absolute harmony the unparalleled experience and respect towards
tradition with the youthful passion, vigour and knowledge that make for a truly
precious and at the same time rare olive oil....
It stems
from the womb of the land of Corfu and is its most precious treasure. It’s a
gift of the age-old Corfiot olive grove, a live natural monument that has been
fermenting a well-kept secret inside it....
Olive
oil, as the basis of Mediterranean cuisine and as a natural product itself is
the healthiest oil and stands out due to its unsurpassed substances that are
beneficial to the human body. ...
Finally,
the olive oil was produced to reverse a well-established notion, to break new
ground and make history as Corfu’s first and only premium olive oil, thus
paving the way to the market of officially CERTIFIED “HEALTH CLAIM” OLIVE
OILS....
The
whole production process from the reproduction of trees until the harvest is
controlled and monitored by us.
The
olives are processed, ground and cold-pressed in our own olive oil press.
The
olive oil is stored in our HACCP and ISO 22000: 2005 hygiene-certified
standardization unit(OLIVE FABRICA).
Each
bottle (500 ml) is a special creation filled and decorated by hand!
As a
result, our yearly production is steady but limited and the end product is
accompanied by all the details and information on its harvest, alteration and
bottling.
Product
History:
Our
olive oil is to us of great historical meaning and in direct relationship to
our Land, our Lives, our Future…
For this
reason,
It
is “Named in honor of the first Governor of independent Greece, the Corfiot
Aristocrat Count Ioannis Kapodistrias (1776-1831)”, which can be seen on the
bottle’s label on a golden-coloured adornment made from metal (pewter).
We offer
“the Governor” in an elegant package as minimal recognition of the tremendous
work of the great political leader Kapodistrias as well as the precious
nutritional value of the olive oil.
