Family Extra Virgin Olive Oil “EL Aionas”
A 300-Year Tradition in Olive Cultivation
For over three centuries, the Paparaftakis family has been cultivating olive trees with passion and dedication. Our ancestors were among the first to grow olives on the mountainous slopes of Psiloritis and the Maleme region of Chania, passing down their knowledge from generation to generation.
“EL Aionas” is the result of this rich heritage—an exceptional extra virgin olive oil that honors our land and history.
