About us
Zariphico: Sustainable Olive Farming in Crete
Zariphico operates 15 acres of olive groves across Crete’s Prefecture of Lasithi, from the village of Sikia (350m elevation) to Palaikastro, where centuries-old olive trees yield premium fruit through sustainable farming practices.
Sustainable Growing Methods
Our family implements strict sustainable cultivation practices that honor both nature and tradition:
• Wildlife preservation: Following grandfather Nikolis’ wisdom, we leave olive fruits for birds to sustain local fauna and maintain ecosystem balance
• Natural resource management: We trust nature’s processes, using its resources responsibly for continued evolution
• Traditional manual harvesting: Hand-picking from ancient Koroneiki variety trees preserves both fruit quality and tree health
• Cold pressing technology: Immediate processing below 27°C maintains nutritional integrity.
Heritage and Innovation
Rooted in grandfather Nikolis’ respect for nature, Zariphico combines traditional knowledge with modern sustainable practices. Our dedication to quality, research, and innovation drives continuous improvement while maintaining environmental stewardship.
The result is premium extra virgin olive oil with low acidity, high polyphenols, and distinctive botanical aromas—a testament to sustainable farming’s ability to produce exceptional products while protecting the land for future generations.
