About us
Our philosophy
“Poliana” is a family enterprise, whose efforts to create the best olive oil
there is, began in 2008. Originated from a small village in the Southern
Peloponnese called Poliana (hence the name), in 2010 we dynamically
entered the Greek olive oil market, presenting a collection of superior
extra virgin olive oils, each having a “unique “ personality.
This is the Dragonea – Skliris family, who respecting the family tradition,
organically cultivates its own orchards (located in Fichtia – Mycenae –
Argolis & Niochori – Meligalas – Messinia), not mixing the three different
varieties of olives they have chosen, so as to produce three excellent and
unique extra virgin olive oils, without the intervention of any chemical or
non-biological procedure.
The Orchards
The Argolis Orchard
Located in Fichtia – Mycenae (Northern Peloponnese) , in an extremely
picturesque 42 acre (17 hectares) orchard, in which apart from the olive
trees one can come across pines and wild forest vegetation, lies our first
privately owned traditional orchard, which has about 1,400 Manaki variety
olive trees and 1,000 Koroneiki variety olive trees.
Privately Owned Stone Mill Grinder
In the Argolis Orchard – the biggest of the two, we chose to build our very
own olive oil mill, choosing stone mill grinders as the best means of
extracting oil of excellent quality, cold press extraction (max 18°C) so as
to keep all of the oil’s nutritional components (vitamins, antioxidants,
phenols, etc.) along with the great taste. Combining the afore mentioned
means with traditional hand picking of the olives and contemporary state
of the art technology, we have managed to produce the best olive oil
possible, unfiltered and not refined in any way.
The Messinia Orchard
Own second 17 acre (7 hectares) owned orchard lies at the feet of Ithomi
Mountain in Messinia (Southern Peloponnese) , surrounded by a steep
creek and a small river, which is nature’s way of protecting the olive trees
from frost in the winter along with parasites and extreme heat in the
summer. There, one can find about 1,000 Koroneiki variety olive trees,
which are over a hundred years old. There, during harvest period, the
olives are hand picked and taken daily to our stone mill grinder in specially
constructed boxes (in order to achieve air circulation and the olives not to
squash between themselves), so that the oil will be extracted on the same
day.
the Products
The Poliana supreme extra virgin olive oils are single variety olive oils,
having unique nutritional facts and qualities such as:
