Arcadia has been known since ancient times for the quality of the olive trees and specifically for the Koroneiki variety. This blessed place has roots with olives everywhere! The inhabitants of the area undertake the arduous work of harvesting the fruits not only for livelihood reasons. It is more a part of their life, of preserving their ancestral tradition and Arcadian culture. The whole family participates in the olive picking from October every year until February. This is the period that is considered the best to collect the best quality olive oil, justifying the world fame it has gained.
More specifically, Astros of Kynouria is a seaside settlement with picturesque streets and traditional houses. It took its name from the hill in the shape of a star that dominated the port. In addition, it claims its place on the oil map as one of the most historic olive oil production areas.

Their goal is to offer to the ubiquitous lovers of olive oil, the purely bitter taste, the smell of an olive tree and the golden color that they eagerly seek in each of their tastings.
