Frequently asked questions about DENDRES Olive oil company and our olive oil

We have been selling and producing olive oil since the year 1999. The name DENDRES is derived from the Greek name Dendros which means tree. The olive trees are also called Dendra (olive trees) by the locals. 

Do you pick the olives by hand?

 It is partly manual work, we use machine "sticks" to remove the olives from the tree. This is clearly visible on the photos in our photo gallery on our website. 

Is your olive oil mixed with other oils or refined? 

No, our olive oil is unprocessed and is not mixed or blended with other oils. As the Cretan uses olive oil, it is delivered to the customer in the same condition.

We transport our olive oil and olive soap to our storage in the Netherlands several times a year. From there it is sent to our customers. This allows us to offer affordable shipping costs and of course fast delivery.
