Skala is built on the remains of the ancient town of Isthmos, meaning canal. eventually, the area became a fertile plain known as Makaria Terra, or translated into English, “Blessed Land”. A Family Tradition The majority of our olive trees were planted in the 1950’s by our grandparents, grandfather Konstantinos and grandmother Dimitra. Water was being carried by hands from wells, many times situated hundreds of meters far away from the plantations in order to plant and grow the trees during the first years of the olive trees’ lives. All cultivation care were performed manually with an axe, a saw and a hoe as well as with use of animals, horses, donkeys or cows. A family Tradition Harvesting is still done the old fashion way, where exceptional care is taken to preserve the flavors of the oil. After the olives have been removed from the tree, they are taken to the mill, where they are crushed in just a few hours of harvest. Optimal times Managing the art and technique of producing quality extra virgin olive oil requires the skilled hands of a longtime farmer.
