Honest Toil

Run by Tom & Juli, Honest Toil is a small project based just south of Kyparissia, on the west coast of the Peloponnese, Greece.

They harvest their own small olive groves and work with other small-holders and the local olive press. As the duo have direct control over the whole process, from picking to pressing and packing, they can make sure that it really is just as simple as it should be, and really keep sustainability at the core of the project.

The olives used for their oil come exclusively from small family farms and are hand-harvested using traditional methods, without industrial machinery, unnecessary strain on the tree or the disruption of wildlife. The olives are pressed in the family-owned village press, and the oil is packed locally.
