Mer des Oliviers de Delphes

From the ancient olive groves of Amfissa-Delphi in Central Greece, ‘Mer des Oliviers de Delphes’ (‘Sea of Olive Trees of Delphi’) produces olive oil from groves that are over 5,000 years old — the oldest cultivated olive trees in Greece and Europe. These ancient trees have witnessed the rise and fall of civilisations. Grandfather Vasilis Kanatas inherited 2500 trees from his father who traded olives and olive oil in Athens and generally in Greece.
