Eight Thousand, or 8K, chose its name to celebrate the eight thousand-year long history of the olive tree in the Mediterranean. They are a family business with a long tradition in olive growing and producing organic EVOO. Their olive groves are located in the area of Monemvasia in South Peloponnese, at an altitude of 300 meters, in a semi-rocky landscape, with an ideal microclimate for the cultivation of olive trees. Following the strictest organic farming practices, the groves are fertilised exclusively by local herds of sheep grazing on the groves.

The olive harvest begins in October when the olives are still green and is done exclusively by mechanical methods. The olive extraction is performed on the harvest day in a modern mill using the latest two-phase technology. The natural juice obtained is rich in aromas and flavours and after filtering, it is stored in stainless steel tanks at ideal temperature conditions to ensure a long shelf life.
