Enhancing sustainability in every drop
Improving sustainability in production is an integral part of our values. Here at Graecus Foods, we strive to maintain a high level of sustainability in every aspect of our production. A significant part of this is the packaging of our product.

Mediterranean heritage
Sustainable packaging inspired by Nature’s Gifts
In our commitment to sustainability, we have carefully selected materials for our packaging, each sourced from different Mediterranean countries.
Our bottles hail from Italy, symbolizing the rich tradition and expertise of the region.
The cork stoppers originate from Portugal, another Mediterranean country, adding a touch of authenticity to our packaging. Additionally, the cork is sourced naturally from Portuguese cork trees, ensuring that it remains pure and free from synthetic additives.
The paper label used in our packaging is from Greece, the very heartland of our product’s origin, sealing the identity of our premium olive oil.
By incorporating materials from various Mediterranean countries, our packaging not only embodies the essence of the Mediterranean but also celebrates the cultural diversity and heritage of the region.
Each element of our packaging tells a story of tradition, quality, and sustainability.
The Green path of olive oil
Sustainability from grove to press
At Graecus foods, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a way of life that extends to every step of our olive oil production process. From the moment the olives are carefully harvested to the final packaging of our premium product, we prioritize eco-friendly practices that respect both nature and tradition.
By choosing Filotimo Extra Virgin Olive Oil, you’re not just indulging in a premium product – you’re supporting sustainable agriculture and preserving the timeless traditions of the Mediterranean.
Our olives are harvested using methods that minimize impact on the trees, with a significant amount of manual labor employed to ensure gentle handling and preservation of the olive groves.
What's more, we believe in the importance of freshness, which is why our olives are transported to the olive press on the very same day they are harvested. This not only ensures the highest quality oil but also reduces the need for additional storage and transportation, further minimizing our carbon footprint.
At our olive press, cutting-edge technology is combined with time-honored techniques to extract the oil from the olives efficiently and sustainably. We prioritize energy efficiency and waste reduction at every stage of the process, from crushing to bottling, ensuring that every drop of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced with care for the environment.
