Dried tomatoes: the traditional taste of the Mediterranean under the Greek sun
Drying tomatoes is a traditional food preservation technique that has an inherent place in Greece. This method arose from the need to preserve the surplus tomato harvest, especially during the warm and sunny summer months when the weather was ideal for natural sun drying. The tomatoes were cut in half, lightly salted and left to dry on wooden grates under the Greek sun, which ensured that the water evaporated slowly and the intense flavour was preserved.
The tradition of drying tomatoes is most developed on Greek islands such as Crete and in agricultural areas such as Macedonia and the Peloponnese. Dried tomatoes became an essential part of Mediterranean cuisine, used to flavour dishes or as an ingredient in winter stocks. Thanks to their rich flavour and long shelf life, they were also popular with traders who transported them all over the Mediterranean.
Today, tomato drying is not only a traditional but also a commercially important industry. Although modern technology allows oven drying, many producers in Greece still prefer the traditional method of sun drying, which gives the tomatoes their typical sweet and sour taste and ensures their authenticity.

Our logo

In addition to representing our family heritage, we chose it as our representation because it expresses the ideal of global peace and also symbolizes the spiritual and material importance of olives as food for the mind and body that transcends cultures around the world.
About Lesvos
Lesvos is the third largest Greek island in the northern Aegean Sea. In addition to an abundance of olive trees, there are also many orchards, aromatic herbs and other flora, making it a botanical paradise. Not for nothing did the Ottomans call it the "Garden of the Aegean".
This is the home of our family and where the history of our company begins with the production of premium extra virgin olive oil that takes advantage of the unique organoleptic properties of the original Kolovi olive variety.
Lesvos has a long history of olive oil production. During the excavations an olive press from the Bronze Age was discovered, dating back to the period 2800-2000 BC. Large areas of olive groves on terraced hills cover almost 30% of the island in the eastern and southern parts and almost 80% of the arable land on the island.
With over eleven million trees and a population of approximately 90,000, Lesvos has by far the largest number of olive trees per capita in the world. Many of these trees are hundreds of years old, as evidenced by their thick and twisted trunks. The cultivation of olive trees and the production of olive oil are therefore one of the most important economic activities in Lesbos.
Lesvos is also known for its natural beauty, its abundance of sunshine, its lively ecosystems that include not only flora but also fauna, and its very diverse landscape, from the lush greenery in the east and south to the wild volcanic west with its petrified forest, one of the largest in the world.
