My name is Alexandra Trikili-Koell and  I?m originally from Austria . I live here in Crete since more then 20 Years. My husband and I we are running a restaurant ?ZORBAS? on the beach promenade of Ierapetra. Of  course in our kitchen we are using only olive oil from our own production.

 

On my visits to Austria I was always carrying some liters of our olive oil to give to my family and friends. Because of the fact that people were demanding more and more our olive oil we were thinking to start an official business with our olive oil.

ELEONES ZAKROS (engl. Olive grows of Zakros)

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Our restaurant is open only in the summer time, so we have all the time in the winter to be occupied with our olive trees.

Our olive grows  are situated in Estern Crete.The small village of Zakros s lying about 500 meters above the sea,the best conditions for growing live trees.The ground is calcareus and steril  and the climete [very hot bay the day, cold nights] does its own for to make this area to have the Best condition for olive trees.In this part of Crete there is otindustryorpollutionandonly a few  of the masses  of tourists, visiting Crete every year, is finding the way over here.

Most of our olive trees is more than 100 years old, and there is not a big

Difference between  the production of our olive oil then and nowdays.

We learned the way of harvesting the olives from our parents and grandparents  and they from their  parents and so on.It is a trandition

That all the family is involved in the harvest,even the smallest members

Get a job to do.
