Welcome to

Castaway

Greek Olive Oil

Superior Extra Virgin Olive Oil at very attractive prices straight from our local production in Greece!

  Our certified olive oil of the “Koroneiki” variety is produced from hundreds of olive trees, from our land in Logga, Messinia (Kalamata region) in Greece.

Our local farmers, the KASIMIOTIS family take care of our “Koroneiki” olive trees all year round and produce our excellent oil.

Castaway Greek Olive Oil is harvested between November and February each year depending on rainfall. Once picked, the olives are immediately cleaned and cold pressed. After a 40-50 day resting period, the oil is ready to be bottled.

Because together with our local partner we control the whole process, we can guarantee the excellent quality of our product all year round.

We only stock the filtered variety which is suitable for both cooking and salads.
But try it with just freshly baked bread and a pinch of salt and you’ll be convinced.

As you may be aware of, olive harvests have been very bad for the last couple of seasons. Whilst Spain recovered somewhat, Greece has been really badly affected with yields down by 60 to 70%. And you can imagine what that has done to prices.
Supermarket prices in Greece are now at a level that we used to pay here in Switzerland.
And with all other costs also going up we had to raise our prices also.

Properly stored in a dark and cool place in our glass bottles or cans, you will be able to enjoy our oil until spring 2025 at least!

All our containers are recyclable – we respect the environment!

 

 

About Us

Our company is based here in Geneva, Switzerland since 2013. We are passionate travelers who have visited many countries and have learnt about the diversity of cultures and foods. Curious about cooking and trying out varieties of recipes have prompted us to learn more about cooking oils, salad oils, flavoured oils, etc. When we explored Messinia / Kalamata, we discovered our land with dozens of “Koroneiki” olive trees in Logga.

Our farmers in Logga, Kalamata

Our farmers, the Kasimiotis family have been in the olive oil business for decades. They are based in Logga, a small village within Messinia/ Kalamata region in Peloponnese, South Greece.

This family takes care of our “Koroneiki” olive trees growing in an area of approximately 7,000 sq metres. Each year between January and February our olives are handpicked and cold pressed.
Our olive oils are packed in recyclable containers.

The “Koroneiki” olive tree variety is considered one of the best in the world and has Hellenic origins. In Greece, it is also known as Koroni, Kritikia, Ladolia or Psylolia. The “Koroneiki” olive tree was originally cultivated in the semi-mountainous areas of the western Peloponnese.

It is a type that is particularly suitable for super high density olive orchard.

This is why our olive oil is so special!
