To tame the wild and hard to reach olive grove from the Plomari’s side
of the island of Lesbos it takes courage, patience and tenacity.
It requires knowledge and skill. It takes love for what you do.
Four generations
Kostas Protoulis is the third straight generation of the family that cultivates olive trees and produces oil. His children are the fourth. And their children, when they come, will be the fifth; born and bred olive tree growers.
The iconic and oldest of the three Protoulis products boasts an extensive collection of awards and medals, received over time in world-renowned competitions.
Early harvest olive oil is wildly demanding. It is a product of unripe, green olive fruits which need to be pressed either on harvest day or the next day at the latest.
