What Biolea is known for

At Astrikas near Kolymvari, Biolea presses organic olives on granite millstones and cold-presses the paste under hydraulic pressure, reviving a stone-milling method largely displaced by centrifugal mills. The family estate sells unfiltered extra virgin oil along with olive-oil soaps and herb-infused oils.
