Kadmus

Olive oil from the mountain of the Muses.

Who we are

We're an olive company based in Xironomi, a village in central Greece where groves have been cared for the same way for generations. From our mill we make extra virgin olive oil and olive-based products.

Few olive oil companies own the whole journey — the groves, the mill, the bottling line, start to finish under one roof. Kadmus is one of them: the harvest arrives whole in Xironomi, and it leaves as finished, labelled oil.

Mount Helikon

Sourced at the foot of the mythic Mount Helikon, our flagship extra virgin olive oil is 100% Megaritiki — a single Greek variety with a ripe, mild fruit and a light peppery finish. We make it the way it's always been done — nothing added, nothing rushed.

Sustainability

Fruit comes in from the groves; oil leaves as bottles, tins and bulk; crates, drums — and what the cold extraction leaves behind — go back around for their next use. Not a statement, just how the mill runs.
