Kastania Olive Oil - New York Region

The olives that go into Kastania Olive Oil come from our Avorna grove, located in the heart of this unique terroir. This terroir has been recognized for centuries for its favorable characteristics. Kastania means "chestnut tree" in Greek, and chestnut trees are common in the mountains of this region. Chestnut trees and olive groves similarly benefit from this local climate. Laconia is extremely dry and enjoys the steady, year-round sunshine of southern Greece. Kastania Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made by our family, with cousin Kostas Arfanis using olives from his own trees. He uses no herbicides or pesticides, and the oil itself is produced using all-natural methods.
