A Swiss in Corfu
Living and growing olives in Corfu, Greece, sounds exotic when you are from Switzerland, isn’t it? Different place, different culture, different people. Even the weather is different! Of course, we the Swiss, are now leading the consumption of extra virgin olive oil in Europe. This is not by coincidence. We are getting familiar with the Mediterranean diet and put it in our everyday life. We realize how important ours and those we love are for our health.
I personally had one more reason: I always had olive oil at home because I don’t just love Corfu and Greece, I am practically …married to them! And I had the chance to see with my eyes how Greek extra virgin olive oil is made, the love of those people for their trees, for its fruit and its wonderful juice.
So, when this new life adventure began for our family, to put olives and olive oil in the center of our every day and to make magical Corfu our home, it was so natural that I did not hesitate. Here I am, therefore, a Swiss in Corfu, among trees that live here together with the people for centuries. It’s a perfect experience, really worth tasting and putting it on your table.
A Corfiot from Switzerland
I’m lucky: born and raised in Corfu among the olive trees, I had, αs a child, our family’s olive groves as my playground. I learned how to take care of these wonderful trees from a very young age. I saw them reward those who love and respect them. The extra virgin olive oil from our olives was on our daily table, as it is for every Greek family. We are “kneaded” with it, for centuries.
And this is a fact that did not changed, even when life brought me to Switzerland, that welcomed me as an equal, and became my second homeland. I loved this country so much, and its people, even more. So, as you do with those you respect, I wanted them to know how important, tasty and healthy the extra virgin olive oil of Corfu is for them.But the olive tree in me, earged me back to Corfu. When your DNA is calling, you can not ignore it for long. A new life cycle began for me and my wife, Sandra, who in turn found a second homeland. Every day is more valueable if you wake up in nature, talk to your olive trees and make something as unique as our extra virgin olive oil. This is our gift to every family, all over the world.
“Elia”, the guard of the olive groves
A distinguished Olithea Τeam member, “Elia” (the Greek word for “Olive”) has an active role in the cultivation and production of our extra virgin olive oil. Nothing goes unnoticed, nothing’s left without comment by this half-blooded female Labrador who enjoys everyday life in the olive grove, happy that she escaped living in the streets where she was found.
