LIÁ premium extra virgin olive oil comes from an area located in Filiatra, a picturesque provincial town in Messinia, Greece, near Mount Egaleo, in the cool breeze of the Ionian Sea. Its exceptional soil quality interacts with its unique microclimate. These factors contribute to the cultivation of olives here under optimal environmental conditions.
Our land is strongly linked, both mythologically and historically, to two cultural centres of ancient Greece: the Kingdom of Nestor and classical Messinia. These links with the past are a source of inspiration, so that we can offer you one of the main products of Messinian culture for which we have deep respect: our unique extra virgin olive oil.
The trees belong to the Koroneiki variety, native to Greece. Its olives ripen around November and December and produce olive oil of excellent quality, whose special characteristics combine a fruity, soft flavour and an aroma of apple and grass with an exceptionally low acidity.

LIÁ premium extra virgin olive oil is sealed in a white bottle, so you can enhance your family and friends gatherings with this Messinian delight. Its exceptional taste, aroma and properties are the result of our hard work during the entire production process: from cultivation to storage.
Lia combine traditional cultivation methods with modern techniques that respect the sustainability of the ecosystem.
Lia still picks their olives by hand, as their parents used to do, so they can ensure that neither the fruit nor the trees are damaged. They only use linen bags and bring the harvest to the olive press the same day so they can be sure that the fruit retains all its qualities until further processing. Lia uses only the cold pressing method to ensure that the nutritional value, taste and aromatic properties of the olives are transferred to the oil pulp.
LIÁ olive oil is delivered in a specially designed opaque white bottle to protect the oil from light and maintain its top quality.
