Etos 1929 Extra Virgin Olive Oil- A Heritage of Premium Olive Oil

Nestled in the heart of Paliovoria, Souvardo village, which now belongs to the enchanting Kourtetsi region within the Ilia regional unit, stands a grove of age-old olive trees. These ancient sentinels give birth to a premium quality virgin olive oil, echoing centuries of tradition.

Across four generations, the Katsaniotis family has called these olive groves home, tending to the trees with profound reverence. In doing so, they've carefully preserved the seeds that connect them to "the oil of thier ancestors."

This treasure is nothing short of absolutely pure olive oil, meticulously crafted in limited quantities, reminiscent of the most cherished of valuables. Rooted in the Koroneiki cultivar, it stands alone with its exquisite aroma, fruity essence, and naturally low acidity.

Welcome to the world of ETOS 1929: where a legacy of exceptional olive oil has been lovingly passed down through generations.

These olive groves are defined by wild native olive trees which were grafted in 1929 by the great grandfather of the family, Nassos Katsaniotis. Afterwards, his son, Sotiris Katsaniotis, supplemented the existing olive trees with new ones of the Koroneiki variety, during 1935-1940. The responsibility of maintaining these blessed trees then passed to his daughter, Nikolitsa Katsanioti, and to her husband, Athanasios Zagkas. Together, being fully conversant with the cultivation and having years of experience from the older generations, they added new methods of cultivation and sustainable techniques in the production of the olive fruit. They alongside increased the number of the olive trees and planted more, at areas with lower altitude, keeping the same variety and maintaining the quality of the olive oil.

Today, the promise of continuity has passed to the fourth generation. Evangelos Zagkas, having momentum and respect, builds an image, and officially presents the product to which the family gave birth in 1929. Honoring his past, he attributes a simple, honest, and honorable brand name:

ETOS 1929. This is the humble, priceless "green gold". The everyday luxury for the people.
