Meet George – The Artisan Behind Sopato Olive Oil
George isn’t just another olive oil producer—he’s an artisan farmer with a mission. Every bottle of Sopato Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes straight from his groves in Sitia Geopark, Crete, a UNESCO-protected region known for some of the world’s finest olive oil.
His goal? To one day build a micro olive mill, where he can handcraft small-batch, single-origin oils, preserving traditional methods while exploring new flavors. When you choose Sopato, you’re not just buying olive oil, you’re supporting an artisan who pours his heart into every drop.
Taste the difference. Support the tradition. Be part of George’s journey.
No heavy machines, no shortcuts, just hard work
Unlike the endless olive groves of Spain or Italy, where one person and big machines do the job, harvesting in Sitia, Crete is a whole different story. The steep, rocky terrain makes it impossible for heavy machinery—but that’s nothing George and his trusty 1994 VW Taro can’t handle. No shortcuts, no easy way out—just hard work, tradition, and the pursuit of incredible olive oil.
Every Can Has George’s Seal.
George personally oversees every step – from growing and harvesting to filling and packing – to make sure you get the purest olive oil straight from Crete. No middlemen. Just honest, hands-on quality you can taste.
More Than Just Incredible Olive Oil…
It’s not just the exceptional taste—George personally packs and ships every order from Tourloti with DHL. And on a good day? You might just find a little surprise inside. 😉
Authentic. Certified. Uncompromised.
