Tending the centuries-old “Lianolia” variety olive trees in the family grove.

This unfiltered early harvest olive oil is harvested and cold-pressed at the Dafnis family
Olive mill at very low temperatures using the gentlest methods.
This painstaking care rewards us with a superb natural olive juice with unusually high
Polyphenols content, which are responsible for the healthy benefits of olive olive oil.

Who was a local corfiot aristocrat, Count Ioannis Kapodistrias (1776 – 1831)

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.

The Special Taste and Flavour of Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil From Greece’s Finest Olive Farms

Image
Greece produces about 15 percent of the world’s supply of olive oil, chosen by gourmets for its strong flavor and aroma. Olive oil, as anyone knows is available in different grades such as virgin olive oil and extra virgin olive oil also known as EVOO. Then there is the virgin grade and another known as pure olive or refined olive oil. The best of the pack is undoubtedly EVOO or extra virgin oil since it has low acidity (0.21), is produced from selected olives sourced from a single olive farm and cold pressed to preserve the natural taste, aroma and flavor. Pure olive oils, at the bottom of the scale are a mix of different oils from different farms and are refined, lacking the characteristic punch of the delightful and heady extra virgin grade olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil from different countries has different color, consistency and aroma. Greek extra virgin olive oil stands in a class apart for its characteristic pale green-yellow color and a distinguishing taste. This ...

If you love honey, Greek honey is undoubtedly up there with the finest. Some people consider Thyme honey to be the best Greek honey, preferred by connoisseurs worldwide. There are several reasons why Greek honey is the best. Beekeepers in Greece follow age old traditions that date back thousands of years and maintain the finest honey bees. These bees have access to the finest and most variegated flora, summer sunshine and the best atmosphere, all of which influence quality, taste and consistency of the honey they produce. The best Greek honey is extracted exactly at the right time when it has matured in the hive and it is unfiltered to retain all its natural goodness known to man since ancient times.

The nectar is regurgitated once they are back in the hives and fanned by countless bees to form a concentrated viscous liquid we know as honey. Honey has natural health giving properties, is a powerful antioxidant and has cu...
