How we got to
your table...

We believe the products we choose to nourish us should be infused with the goodness of the sun-ripened earth and the rejuvenating properties of the wind-blown sky. And that living consciously should be a part of every single aspect of our daily existence.

Our Founding Story

In the 1890’s our family settled in the Ancient Olympia vicinity; we were to become wine and current producers, physicians, governors, artists and writers. In the 1960’s we converted our vineyards to olive groves, and this is where our olive oil story begins.

As these trees matured, they nourished three generations, their yearly harvest becoming entwined with the family narrative.

In 2013, our founder, James Panagiotopoulos decided to share the goodness of these and other surrounding crops with people around the world who were seeking to enrich their lives with a way of eating that is honest, pure and wholesome.

This is why every drop of PJ Kabos evoo contains time honored integrity that has been proven through generations and the richness of our blessed earth that sustains its own.

Our Sustainable Approach

While we are proud of the sustainable approach we have had since day one, we are always looking to increase our positive impact on our planet and all who inhabit it.

Mindfully Sourced

All of our olives come from either our private groves or other small, family run farms. We strive to maintain the traditional olive groves that have been a part of the Greek landscape for thousands of years and not destroy them to replace with super high density groves.

Consciously Crafted

Absolutely no chemicals are used during the process of extracting the oil from the fruit, a procedure which is accomplished through the use of centrifugal force (gravity).

Cruelty Free

Our sense of responsibility, care and respect for the earth encompasses all creatures, big and small, that live on it; it is our mission to help and protect them.

Organic Certifications

We go to great lengths to ensure that all of our extra virgin olive oils are free from harmful pesticides. Soon every evoo we offer will be organically certified.

Plant Protection and Nurturing

We use organic compost instead of chemical fertilizers for our family groves. Also, we never use organophosphate pesticides in order to control the olive fly, but instead only fly traps with natural deterrents, such as natural talc and sugar water.

Approved by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa

No Additives

When something is so great on its own, why add anything else? Our bottles contain just the pure, precious nectar of olive fruits that are ripened from the warmth of the Grecian sun.

Hand Harvested

It’s the old-fashioned way, but the best way. Each olive is carefully selected and hand harvested so as to protect both the fruit and the fruit tree from being harmed in the process.

Non GMO / BPA Free

Consuming evoo is all about improving your health and doing so in the most natural way. This is why all of our products are strictly Non GMO and BPA Free.

Commitment to Giving Back

Your every purchase helps us support the environment, local harvest workers and family producers.

We know that we are stewards of this beautiful earth we all share. This is why we have decided to buck certain current, cost-effective trends. These include utilizing heavy machinery to harvest the olive fruit and the conversion of traditionally planted olive groves into super high density olive groves.

As such, our production process is committed to supporting the ancient hand harvesting techniques and maintaining the planting methods that have been used in Greece for centuries. In so doing, we strongly support the local workforce, all the while minimizing the impact we have on the natural environment.

Furthermore, we are pleased to cover the annual harvesting costs for select local producers. This way, we give them the opportunity to work and grow their ancestral olive groves, just as their predecessors did, and help them provide for their families.
