About Us
Taste the Difference – From Our Trees to Your Table
LIV was founded by three siblings with a shared mission: to honor their father’s lifelong devotion to olive oil and carry forward a legacy rooted in love, heritage, and
craftsmanship.
Our story begins in the sunny groves of southwest Greece,where our family has nurtured Koroneiki olives for generations. Though raised in Sweden, we’ve fused our Greek roots with a Scandinavian approach to quality, simplicity, and attention to detail.
Our father dedicated his life to caring for our family’’s olive trees, some of which are over 80 years old, and producing oil of rare purity. What began as a humble tradition is now our passion: sharing the rich, authentic flavors of our heritage with the world.
Today, we sustainably harvest olives from approximately 930 trees, pressing them cold to preserve every nuance of flavor. Each bottle of LIV reflects our unwavering commitment to quality, transparency and respect for the land that shaped us.
This is more than just olive oil. It is our story, our roots, and our way of life, proudly shared with you.
Our Production
At LIV, we produce 100% single-varietal extra virgin olive oil, harvested at the peak of ripeness to ensure optimal flavor and nutrition. By harvesting early, we achieve a lower yield but a richer concentration of polyphenols, antioxidants, and a sharper, fruitier taste.
Our oil is naturally filtered over the course of a month, allowing it to rest and separate from olive solids before being bottled. The entire process is mechanical, free from chemicals and pesticides, and relies solely on cold pressing to maintain purity and quality.
Our grove, located near the coastal village of Lygia in the Peloponnese, is over 80 years old. Managed by the second generation and their children, we oversee every step of the journey, from tree to tin. Once harvested, the olives are carefully transported to the mill, where they are processed with meticulous attention and strict quality control. Every step is guided by deep respect for nature, tradition, and craftsmanship.
For our first retail release, we chose a classic tin as both a nod to Greek tradition and a deliberate choice to protect the oil from light and oxygen, preserving its flavor and integrity. The result is a blend of heritage, sustainability, and modern design.
Greece has been producing olive oil for more than 5,000 years. It’s more than just a staple, it’s a way of life. From ancient rituals to contemporary cuisine, olive oil has shaped our culture, our land, and our identity. Today, Greece is among the world’s top producers of extra virgin olive oil, with the highest per-capita consumption globally. With the majority of our national production qualifying as extra virgin, it’s no surprise Greek olive oil is considered among the finest in the world. Whether you're a home cook, professional chef, or a gourmet retailer, LIV offers an authentic taste of Greece for every kitchen.
