Greek Olive Oil, Thyme Honey and Sea Salt from the Island of Kythera
Greek Traditional Products from the Island of Kythera
Grecian Delights
All of our offerings are artisanally crafted with extraordinary care and dedication to your good health and enjoyment
The Kytherian olive sourced from our family’s olive grove has been biodynamically cultivated for two generations. The fifty-five olive trees were historically harvested, the olives pressed, and the resulting olive oil gifted to family and friends, with the remainder sold locally. More recently, we decided to introduce our olive oil to the US market, with the associated profits reinvested into the planting and care of hundreds of olive saplings which we hope will increase our production in future years.
In addition, given our close relationship with Kythera’s agricultural community, we have sought out the highest quality and most natural local products to add to our offering. As such, we are also proud to introduce the absolute finest Kytherian thyme honey and sea salt to you. Both of these products are reputed to be among the best in all of Greece, and we would argue, the world.

Extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil
We are proud to introduce our family’s estate olive oil, originating from the Greek island of Kythera.
This single-grove organic olive oil, from Koroneiki olives, is hand harvested with pride and immediately stone-milled using traditional methods. It is produced without pesticides or chemicals of any sort, and contains no preservatives. We follow a truly biodynamic and artisanal process, with the goal of achieving the highest possible quality, extra virgin, cold-pressed, olive oil.
The resulting olive oil is golden-green colored, with a pungent aroma. On the palate, hints of green herbs and fruits are followed by a peppery, bitter almond finish. It contains very high levels of polyphenols, and other natural antioxidants, while boasting very low levels of acidity.
We suggest pairing it with freshly baked sourdough bread, a fresh tomato and basil salad, or perhaps drizzled over grilled fish.
Enjoy it in good health!

Single-origin Raw Thyme Honey
Our single-origin raw thyme honey is sourced straight from the beehives on the pristine Greek island of Kythera.
One of nature’s superfoods, honey is rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, as well as digestive enzymes, local pollens, propolis, amino acids, vitamins and minerals and probiotics.
Kytherian thyme honey is highly regarded throughout Greece, and globally recognized, due to its complex, robust, and aromatic flavor, which we would characterize as sweet, fragrant, and herbaceous. It has a dark amber color and a rich, viscous consistency. We do not pasteurize, heat, process or manipulate our honey in any way. As a result it retains all its natural properties.
The supply of Kytherian thyme honey is very limited, as are our micro batches. It is considered a delicacy on the island, and we promise our quality strives to be the best of the best.

Sea Salt
Our sea salt is hand-harvested from the pristine waters of the Greek island of Kythera, situated off on its own, south of the Peloponnese, straddling the Aegean and Ionian seas.
Using traditional methods, our sea salt is gathered only during ideal conditions as it forms a thin, delicate crust on the surface of shallow pools of seawater along the coast. The sea salt is finally rested in wicker baskets and allowed to bask in the sun, a centuries old practice. Finally, we are proud to be able to share this gourmet “fleur de sel” or “flower of salt” featuring a high moisture content and briny flavor which can be used to season and garnish your favorite foods
We believe our Kytherian sea salt not only captures the essential qualities of sea salt with its rich minerals and pure flavor, but that it is also uniquely distinguished by its rich array of beneficial elements, including higher levels of potassium and magnesium as well as a less-harmful concentration of sodium chloride. In addition, the subtle infusion of local sea flora, such as algae and moss, adds a unique and delightful flavor to this exceptional seasoning.
