A milestone for Cretan olive oil. A milestone for Greece.🌿
We are proud to announce that Savouidakis SA has become the first Greek olive oil producer to achieve Certified Regenerative by AGW status, an independent, third-party certification recognizing whole-farm regenerative management and genuine environmental responsibility.
This recognition reflects what our family has always believed: that exceptional olive oil and respect for the land are not a trade-off. They go hand in hand.
What does Certified Regenerative by AGW mean in practice?
🌱 Minimal soil disturbance to preserve microbial life
🐑 Natural fertility through composted sheep manure & olive pomace
🦋 Preserved natural habitats supporting bees, butterflies & wildlife
💧 Targeted drip irrigation, with a goal of 20% water reduction
🫒 Pest management through pheromone traps, not broad-spectrum insecticides
Our Koroneiki olive groves on the slopes of Psiloritis, at 580 metres above sea level, are more than a source of oil. They are an ecosystem we are committed to protecting.
As our COO Dimitris Karanikolas puts it:
"Certified Regenerative by AGW is not just a label, it is a reflection of our long-term philosophy of producing high-quality olive oil while respecting the land, the environment, and future generations."
For buyers, importers, and retail partners: this certification adds a new layer of verified sustainability assurance to every bottle of Savouidakis olive oil. Because when you choose us, you choose more than quality.
