Frequently asked questions.

We are Alexandra and Panagiotis. Alexandra comes from Crete, while Panagiotis comes from Epidaurus. We are a family now, and IRIS FARM brings together the landscapes and olive-growing heritage of both our homes: Manaki from Epidaurus and Koroneiki from Crete.

We grow Manaki olives at our family estate in Epidaurus, Peloponnese, and Koroneiki olives at our Cretan estate at the foot of Mount Psiloritis, at an altitude of approximately 500–550 m.

Yes. Our olive oils are produced through cold extraction. We use “cold extracted” as the more precise contemporary term for processing olive paste under controlled low temperatures.

We use no pesticides and do not spray our family olive trees. Our cultivation approach respects wild plants, herbs and living soil. We do not present an organic-certification claim unless independently certified.

Manaki typically produces an elegant, balanced oil with softer fruitiness and almond-like notes. Koroneiki is typically more assertive and green, with herbal aromas and a peppery finish. Actual sensory properties vary by harvest.

Every Harvest Club package includes three small compostable recycled-paper bags of oregano, sage and thyme grown among our olive trees. The herb gift is exclusive to Club boxes.

Yes, you can enquire about either variety or request both. We will confirm what is available and offer appropriate packaging and shipping options.

Proposed Harvest Club package prices include delivery to the EU and UK. For other destinations or individual orders, please contact us for available options, delivery estimates and costs before purchase.

Yes. The IRIS FARM Harvest Club offers annual shares of the new November–December press, with proposed packages of 4, 6 or 12 litres. A €5 refundable reservation is proposed, but this preview does not collect online payments. There is no monthly charge or automatic annual renewal.

We harvest as weather and fruit maturity allow, generally in November–December. We press our olives within hours of picking and dispatch fresh oil directly after pressing, once orders, packing and shipping are confirmed. Exact dates vary with weather and delivery destination.
