2. ARMAKADI COMPANY PROFILE2
ARMAKADI is a family company,
producing extra virgin olive oil and
other olive related products.
Our name derives from Armakadia, a
small place near Filiatra, Messinia at
the Southwest part of the Peloponnese.
It’s the place that our family is coming
from and also the location of our olive
groves.
The story of Armakadi dates back in
1917. Our great grand father, a clever
and incredibly active man, started
cultivating our first olive trees.
His aim was to cover the yearly family’s
needs for olive oil and sell the surplus
to the local market.
With very limited resources back
then, but with endless passion and
persistence, each year’s production
was better that the one before.
His olive oil was increasingly
appreciated, not only by the family and
friends, but also from the wider local
community.
The years went by and of course many
things have changed since then.
Each of the following generations
added a little something to improve
procedures and standardize every step
of the production, with respect to the
traditions and knowledge inherited to
us by our ancestors.
Our passion and years of expertise,
combined with our involvement in
every stage, from the production to the
delivery of the final product, ensures
that our products are of superior quality
and meet the highest standards of
even the most demanding customers.

4. ARMAKADI COMPANY PROFILE 7
Olive trees are by nature a hardy, tough
plant that can grow in places with poor
conditions and low fertility soil. In the
Mediterranean, where the temperatures
are mild, olive trees triumph.
We cultivate olive trees exclusively
of the Koroneiki variety, which is
considered to be one of the top
varieties.
The location of our olive groves
combined with the strategic planting of
the trees, allow the maximum sunlight
exposure throughout the year.
We use mainly organic fertilisers made
from composted olive leafs and we
regularly monitor the trees for bugs
and diseases.
Our irrigation system is custom
made and it was adopted after years
of continuous research to ensure
its efficiency in terms of water
consumption.
CULTIVATION &
PRODUCTION
During harvest, trained personnel
carefully hand pick the olives and
place them into linen pokes. Then we
send them for same-day pressing, to
ensure low acidity levels in the final
olive oil.
We press the olives using the
centrifugation method, in low
temperature conditions.
The oil is filtered through a special
blend of medical, cotton based material,
KORONEIKI
VARIETY
to ensure that the final product will be
clear of any settlements when bottled.
Our filtering method takes a long time
to complete, but it is the secret for the
high quality of our olive oil.
The filtered oil is then gathered into
large, stainless steel containers, which
keep it fresh, until it is bottled.
We use darker glass bottles of different
sizes (60ml, 250ml, 500ml & 750ml)
which protect the oil from sunlight or

other environmental factors and are
easy to use and store.
For the 5lt packaging, we use a dark
tin (tinplate) which makes it easier to
carry and handle.
We have carefully selected a local
pressing unit and a bottling plant, that
both have strict policies regarding the
health & hygiene standards throughout
their premises.
They use modern equipment and are
ISO 22000:2005 certified, to ensure the
high quality of our extra virgin olive oil.
