Our Process

The Work Behind the Oil

Great olive oil doesn’t happen by accident. It takes time, care, and a deep understanding of every step—from soil to bottle. At Avias Ranch, our process is built around doing it right, even when that means doing it the hard way.

We start with the trees. We hand-harvest at the right time—early, when the fruit is young and packed with polyphenols. We press the olives within hours. We manage the heat, control the oxygen, and track every step to preserve flavor and nutritional value. These aren’t just best practices—they’re decisions we’ve made to ensure the oil we make actually delivers on its promise.

Science-Driven. Soul-Led.

We’ve learned that making exceptional olive oil isn’t just about having the right land or the right trees. It’s about making thoughtful choices, every day. And those choices take work.

We use mobile sensors in the groves to monitor moisture, oil content, and acidity before we pick. During milling, we use cold extraction, high-speed centrifugation, and electroporation—not because they’re trendy, but because they protect the compounds that matter.

We test in real time. We trace everything. And we ask hard questions at every step: How do we preserve the most nutrients? How do we waste less? What can we do better this season than the last?

This isn’t automation. This is attention.

Good Olive Oil Shouldn’t Cost the Earth

Making something exceptional shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense.

At Avias Ranch, we’ve reimagined how olive oil is made—not just to produce something delicious, but to prove that sustainability and quality can go hand in hand. That means taking full responsibility for everything we grow, press, and leave behind.

Most producers discard the olive pomace—the pulp and pit that remains after pressing. We saw something else: a chance to create value, not waste.

That same byproduct now fuels clean-burning briquettes, nourishes our Wagyu cattle with high-fiber, polyphenol-rich feed, enriches the soil through compost, and becomes small-batch soaps made with the same antioxidant compounds found in our oil. In 2024, this system helped us repurpose 23.8 tons of pomace—preventing the loss of over 300,000 apples’ worth of fiber, 14,000 eggs’ worth of protein, and the nutritional equivalent of 14,000 servings of omega-3s.

It took time to build. It took patience to refine. And it took asking hard questions about how to do things better—again and again.

But when you treat sustainability as part of the process—not a separate promise—you find new ways to give back more than you take.

Because good olive oil shouldn’t cost the earth.
And at Avias Ranch, it doesn’t.

Built for Accountability

We use solar, wind, and biomass energy to power operations. Our groves sequester carbon—1.5 metric tons of CO₂ per acre annually—while our regenerative practices have increased soil organic matter by 28% and microbial life by 35%. Each bottle of our oil removes 4.57 kg of CO₂ from the atmosphere, helping us maintain a carbon-negative footprint year over year.

And when we say our oil is traceable, we mean it. Every bottle can be traced to the exact grove and harvest through blockchain-backed data. Not because it's fashionable—because it’s right.

No Shortcuts. No Guesswork. No Gimmicks.

We don’t blend. We don’t outsource. We don’t cut corners.

We grow it. We harvest it. We press it. We bottle it.

Because the truth is: making great olive oil takes work. Real work.
And at Avias Ranch, we believe that work is worth it.

Every Curve Tells Our Story

Uncover the meaning behind our design

Where Our Design Becomes a Living Story

At Avias Ranch, the story doesn’t begin with a label—it begins with the bottle itself. Every symbol etched into the glass is a quiet nod to our history, our values, and the land that shapes us. This isn’t just design. It’s a living language of Greek tradition, interpreted through the lens of a modern olive oil revolution.

At its heart stands the olive tree—bold, stylized, and unmistakably rooted. It’s not just the centerpiece of our design, but the soul of our story. This tree symbolizes life, resilience, and nourishment—offering fruit, shade, and connection across generations. This icon of our olive trees is surrounded by images of olive trees stretched across our land and their longevity, rootedness, and Greece's unbreakable relationship with the land.  Near it stands the amphora, an ancient vessel once used to store olive oil millennia ago. For us, it’s a symbol of continuity—what was precious then remains essential now.

In the midst of these trees, men and women are harvesting by hand—a tribute to the real people behind every bottle. These figures embody community, craftsmanship, and the respect we have for every step of the process. This is labor done with intention, not automation.

 


Above the grove, the sun shines with the constancy only Greece can offer—radiating warmth, ripeness, and life into every olive branch. It nourishes not just the trees, but the people who tend them. Beneath that same light, the arches of traditional Greek architecture rise in quiet harmony, grounding the scene in heritage. Together, they speak of a place where nature, culture, and daily ritual meet.


Higher still, you’ll find doves carrying olive branches—timeless symbols of peace, renewal, and balance in Greek tradition. On certain bottles, especially those from our Notis Estate or limited special editions, their

presence signals something more. These oils are not just expressions of the land—they're milestones. Whether marking a harvest of extraordinary purity, a tribute to heritage, or a sustainability breakthrough, the dove becomes our quiet emblem of intention. It also reflects our regenerative mission: transforming olive pomace into fuel and feed, restoring soil health, and closing the loop with purpose.


Etched near the base, a plate of fish reminds us that olive oil’s story doesn’t end at harvest—it continues at the table. This is a nod to Greece’s deep connection to the sea, and to the meals shared with laughter, music, and family. Olive oil

isn’t just a product here; it’s a finishing touch, a daily ritual, a bridge between land and sea.

Together, these symbols tell a complete story—from land to bottle, from mythology to modernity. And they aren’t just poetic—they’re backed by precision. Each bottle reflects the rigor behind the beauty: high polyphenol content, ultra-low acidity, and a naturally balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. These aren’t claims. They’re measured.

Our bottle isn’t just beautiful. It’s honest. It reflects everything we stand for: rooted tradition, radical transparency, and a deep respect for what olive oil can be.
