It was that heritage culture along with the long family tradition in olive-farming that inspired us to craft the ASKRA The Valley of Muses Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Our extra virgin olive oil comes from our private groves and other small, family-run farms. We maintain the traditional farming methods and the hand-harvesting techniques handed down to us from generation to generation. Our olive oil is cold-extractedfrom hand-picked olives, within hours of harvesting, with modern, ecofriendly procedures here in our birthplace, the homeland of Muses. No chemicals are used during the process so as to preserve all taste and valuable nutrientsof the olive fruit. Our manufacturing facilities are equipped with top-of-the-range equipment and fully certified according to ISO 22000:2018, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, to ensure exceptional quality standards.
