A three step info-graphic about how Adopy An olive tree works by olivine

More than a tree. It's a legacy.

In Crete we say that the olive tree is "blessed", because it persists in bearing fruit under the hot sun and strong winds, for centuries. For us, these trees are not just our work, they are our family, the memories of our grandparents and the promise we make to the future.

By adopting an olive tree in our olive grove, you not only acquire your own extra virgin olive oil. You become the protector of a tree that breathes the Cretan air, that grows with our care and that bears your name.

Every time you open the bottle on your table, you will know exactly which tree gave you its fruit. You will feel the taste of our land, the breeze of the Libyan Sea and the warmth of Cretan hospitality.

Welcome to our olive grove.

With gratitude and olive branches,

The Olivine Family.

A living Cretan story

Why Adopt an Olive Tree?


Adopting an olive tree is far more than purchasing olive oil; it is an intimate bridge to the ancient soils and living traditions of Crete. It serves as a profoundly meaningful gift, offering a year-round masterclass in sustainable olive farming. Follow your tree’s journey through the seasons, learn the craft behind pure cold extraction, and savor the exceptional harvest of your own tree delivered straight to your home.
