The family driven operation plays a pioneering role in spreading organic farming in the entire region. Apart from that, Stelios and Efi Kotrotsis cultivate the first biocyclic-vegan “Olionaute Grove”, an olive grove, whose trees have been adopted by a group of open-minded people (“Olionautes”) after an idea by Bernd Kohlmeier, Berlin, in order to support the rural smallholder farming methods in the region and to build a direct bridge between producers and end consumers.
Biocyclic Kalamata olive oil produced by Stylianos and Efthymia Kotrotsis has won the first price in the Olive Oil Award at BIOFCH 2014. Both the panel jury and the trade visitors, who took part in a blind tasting, gave this olive oil the highest marks among 76 organic olive oils submitted from all over the world. At Biofach 2015, Stelios’ and Efi´s Biocyclic Olive Oil was awarded again!
