Description

ELVAR – Olive Oil Estate
Kastrosikia, Preveza

For six generations, the Varelas family has nurtured olives with quiet mastery.
Lamrini Varela, proud mother and grandmother, continues this tradition with grace and precision.
ELVAR is home to LIANOLIA PREVEZANA, a rare olive variety found in our region.
Many trees are centuries old, some over 200 years, giving the oil a profound, complex character.
The Varelas Family, Lamprini, Lampros and their children shaped the grove with deep respect for human heritage and nature.
Their VISION: to preserve the land and pass it to the next generation as pure as they received it.
Organic-certified since 2018, the farm is a living, regenerative system with minimal intervention that allows each olive to flourish naturally.
ELVAR EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL is defined by its refined bitterness, high polyphenols, and vibrant, healthful profile.
Its flavor is a rare symphony of ancient trees, sun, and coastal terroir, with subtle notes of green fruit, pepper, and herbs—a taste that lingers with elegance.
Produced in limited batches, ELVAR preserves not only the trees but a legacy of heritage, purity, and understated luxury.
Each bottle embodies the essence of place, people, and meticulous care, offering connoisseurs a curated experience of true excellence.

Harvest and Transport

Olives are hand-picked at peak ripeness, preserving integrity, flavor, and polyphenols.
They are gently placed in shallow crates and transported within hours to the mill, ensuring freshness and aroma.
Careful handling and small-batch logistics protect the delicate fruit, allowing ELVAR OIL to capture the purity, bitterness, and unique character of the LIANOLIA PREVEZANA trees.

Oil Management

Olives are cold-pressed within hours of harvest to preserve aroma, flavor, and nutrients.
The oil is carefully decanted and filtered to maintain clarity and purity, with minimal intervention.
Each batch is monitored for quality, ensuring consistent bitterness, high polyphenols, and vibrant character.
The result is an extra virgin olive oil that reflects the terroir, heritage, and care of ElVAR’s centuries-old groves.
