The Journey to Your Bottle: Seasons of Craft & Care
Winter
RestoringVitality
While nature sleeps, we remain present in the groves. During the cold winter months, pruning becomes more than maintenance — it is a careful sculpting of each tree. Every excess branch is removed by hand, guiding the tree’s energy toward the future fruit. We tend to the wounds with precision, ensuring full recovery and vitality. This slow, meticulous work lays the foundation for a strong, abundant harvest. In every touch, every cut, we honor the rhythm of nature and the promise of the coming seasons.
Spring
AwakeningLife
As the olive trees awaken in bloom, we work in harmony with nature to nurture new life. The soil is cared for solely through mechanical means, allowing it to breathe and stay alive, while natural nutrients provide the energy the trees need for growth. Every blossom is tended with attention and respect, ensuring the fruit develops pure and untouched. In this delicate stage, we safeguard the integrity of the harvest, fostering a vibrant, aromatic, and healthy crop that will carry the essence of Crete into every bottle
Summer
UnceasingVigil
As the sun reaches its peak, the olive grove demands our full devotion. Watering is never automatic — it is a daily ritual, a careful battle against the relentless heat. We walk among the trees, monitoring every drip, adjusting irrigation, and ensuring each tree quenches its thirst. At the same time, we protect the fruit with a natural mineral shield using zeolite, safeguarding its delicate aromas and flavors from the sun and pests. Every day, every gesture, is an act of care, preserving the purity, vitality, and character of the olives until harvest.
Autumn
The Harvest& Sacrifice
The olives are gathered with love and respect, picked early while still green, full of life and vitality. We consciously choose quality over quantity, never overburdening the trees, preserving their strength for future seasons. From grove to mill, only a few hours pass before the fruit is pressed, capturing the essence of the year’s care. Each bottle holds more than oil. Ιt holds the soul of our land, the dedication of our hands, and the spirit of a season devoted to excellence.
The crowning
Bottling& Signature
The journey reaches its pinnacle. On the very day of harvest, we bring the precious olives to the mill, capturing their freshness at its peak. The oil is extracted cold, with gentle hands and constant presence throughout the process, ensuring that not a single note of the fruit’s natural flavor is lost.
Next, this pure gift of the land finds its home in the TOPOS bottle. Bottling is a sacred ritual, the moment when our care and dedication are sealed in glass. When you hold it in your hands, you are not simply holding olive oil — you are holding the essence of our land, ready to awaken the senses and share the story of Crete in every drop.
