[ VOLVI ESTATE ]
By the shores of lake Volvi, 60 km from the city of Thessaloniki in Northern Greece, lies the Volvi Estate wild olive farm.
At 4,000,000 sq.m. (400 ha) and with around 70,000 olive trees, it is the single biggest private wild olive tree farm in the country. The Byzantine olive mill standing in its middle has been overseeing the olive trees and their gift of wild and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) since medieval times.
A UNIQUE SUPERFOOD
Wild olive oil is a gift from nature. It belongs to foods that have more benefits than their mere nutritional value, known as “superfoods”.
It has proven health benefits, acting on several parts of the human body, protecting and enhancing health.
The EU has recognized these benefits by issuing the EU Regulation 432/2012 establishing the health claim of high phenolic olive oils.
Volvi Estate wild olive oils gets an award every year from the National University of Athens for its high phenolic content.

WILD OLIVE TREES
Wild olive trees (Olea Europaea sylvestris) have been growing on the estate for centuries, unaffected by any human intervention, just with the protection of the mild microclimate of the lake.
Wild olives grow and bear fruits completely unaided, in the most natural of processes, relying only on the sun and the rain. Today there are around 90,000 wild olive trees on the estate together with approximately 10,000 tame olive trees (Olea Europaea), and produce respectively wild olive oil, one of Greek nature’s superfoods, and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
[ HISTORY ]
"TZIMILARION"
This is the name of the middle ages (Byzantine) olive mill, in the center of the estate, by the base of the hill.
Despite its half-ruined state, it still remains a fine specimen of Byzantine architecture. Built in 1324 AD, it is one of the oldest olive mills in the Mediterranean, having spent almost 700 years in the company of the wild olive trees and the waters of lakeVolvi.
