On Sunday November 28, 2021, we spoke to TF1 in the reportage "De Delphes a Delos" for the thousand-year-old olive trees of Delphi and the extraordinary olive oil they produce.
November Harvest has started in Delphi, 2021
Today we are happy to send you again some videos and photos from our olive harvest here in Delphi. The harvest actually begins in September and continues with big pauses until the end of the year. In September we harvest the green olives, in November the green and black olives together to get a nice taste of olive oil and with high polyphenols. In December we get most of the black olives for our jars and 2 kilo containers. It is a great filling to see a cycle of the olive tree to be fulfilled and give this wonderful olive oil.
Many greetings to you all from the valley of Delphi

Mer Des Oliviers De Delphes Triumphant at NYIOOC 2020
Mer des Oliviers de Delphes notched its third win at the world’s most prestigious olive oil quality contest.
“The November 2019 harvest was great here in Delphi. The weather helped to make a good olive harvest and direct oiling at 25 degrees Celsius. We are happy with the very good result of our effort,” company co-owner Vasilis Kanatas said after learning of the award.
The winning oil was Mer des Oliviers de Delphes, a medium Amfissis, which took a Silver Award in the world’s most prestigious olive oil contest. The company produces its extra virgin olive oil in Amfissis using traditional methods.
“Winning another award in the New York competition is for us a very big step for the global recognition of Delphi olive oil. We want to send the message that Europe’s oldest olive grove in Delphi can produce high-value olive oil. The New York competition is for us the highest step in recognizing our olive oil. Thank you!” Kanatas said.
The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, held each spring in New York, is the world’s largest and most prestigious olive oil contest and its annual listing of award winners is considered the authoritative guide to the year’s best extra virgin olive oils.
