Olive Trees/Harvest

Mistra Estates Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from as many as ten varieties of olives from trees grafted from wild olive stock. These include mainly the renowed varieties of athenolies and koutsourolies. The estates also include reftolies, trypiotikes (stroghylolies), mourtolies, matolies, antholies, mavrolies and korakolies (Kalamata). Small quanties of olives from wild olive trees are included in the harvest. Each variety of olives has its own distinct aroma, so that the natural blending of such a wide range of olives created a full-bodied olive oil with its own distinctive bouquet and rich and complex flavor.
