About Us

OPUS Oléa was born from an international family with strong roots in Greece, one of the top 3 largest producer-countries of olive oil world-wide.  Our family has owned land in Greece for over 175 years.  While we carry many influences from decades lived internationally, our soul is Greek and tied to our land, to which we always return. 

We were all exposed to the olive world from an early age.  Here is 2.5-year old Astrid, the founder of our UK-based company, on a family tractor in our olive grove a few decades ago, before digital photography. 

Opus Oléa is grown in Messinia, Greece, which is the largest olive producing area in Greece since ancient times.  It is the same region from which the famous Kalamata table olives come too.  OPUS is a project of passion, conviction and engagement.  We believe strongly that high quality extra virgin olive oil makes a difference to one's life and to the world.  The olive tree has been an enduring symbol of peace since ancient times.

Our aim is to be a bridge and a link between cultures and to cross-pollinate with best practices amongst the different worlds.

We are looking to take our formidable extra virgin olive oil to the next level, integrating it with world cuisines.  We intend to preserve the best that our wise traditions have given us and adapt them to contemporary living.

We care about looking after the environment and our communities, engaging in fair practices and sustainability. 

Our exceptionally high standards can only be achieved within a limited, small-batch production that relies on state-of-the-art, laboratory-clean equipment.
