Description

Kalamata olives (unpitted).

After years of travelling in and around Greece, Jerry Cox, a tree surgeon and a sailor bought a small derelict olive farm back in 2000, located in the south-western Peloponnese near a town called Methoni.
Over the next several years while working in Bermuda he met his future wife Lexi. In 2003 they started travelling frequently to Greece to restore the olive farm, and as time went on purchased more olive groves.

In 2008 they moved to Greece full time. It was during this time they met and became good friends with Natassa Kouretta, who was a neighbouring olive farmer. A partnership was formed.
Natassa was born and raised in Athens and at the age of twenty-five she decided to move to Pidassos, near Methoni. This is her father’s village where she spent her childhood summers playing and running throughout the olive groves.

The premise for The Oil Tree Co. was when Jerry and Lexi moved from Greece back to Jerry’s hometown in the UK. On their return they bought with them a vast amount of olive oil and olives for their own personal use and gifts to friends. Quality olives and olives being difficult to find in the UK, it wasn’t long before friends began asking for more.

The olive farm is an estate situated in the coastal town of Methoni in the south-western Peloponnese region of Greece. It’s an area of outstanding beauty and is home to a vibrant olive industry.

The olive oil and olives of this region are well known for their high quality and are appreciated worldwide. The famous Kalamata olive from this region, is regarded as one of the best eating olives available.

The Koroneiki olives grown in this region are recognised as one of the best oil producing olives in the world, which provides us with the outstanding quality of our olive oil.

Our olives are harvested by hand and processed locally. We take great pride in our farm, our olives, our olive oil, and all our other products.

We invite you to share the taste of The Oil Tree with us.
