FROM CRAFT TO EXCELLENCE: THE GAEA LEGACY

Since 1995, GAEA has pursued a singular mission: to share the most authentic, all-natural culinary treasures of Greece with the world. At a time when premium Greek products—such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil, olives, and spreads — were virtually unknown beyond their homeland, GAEA became a pioneer.

With every product, we offered more than just taste — we introduced the purity of Greek nature, the richness of its traditions, and the essence of its land. Today, GAEA stands as a global leader in premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, olives, and Mediterranean specialties, with a presence in more than thirty countries.

Our unwavering commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation has led to several industry firsts:
– The world’s first olive snack in a recyclable pouch
– The first carbon-neutral olive oil
– Official recognition by the European Food Safety Authority for our high-polyphenol Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Each product reflects the care of our farmers, the dedication of our teams, and our shared purpose: to deliver pure, uncompromised Greek olives and olive oil that set new benchmarks for quality, flavour, and integrity.

INSPIRED BY GAEA. GUIDED BY HER WISDOM

In ancient Greek mythology, GAEA is the original goddess — Mother Earth. She is the life-giving force from which all creation springs, the eternal nurturer, and the sacred foundation of nature itself.

She emerged from Chaos, the cosmic void, to bring form, order, and fertility. As both a divine figure and a symbol of nature’s abundance, Gaea represents purity, balance, and the interconnectedness of all living things.

It is in her spirit that GAEA was born. Just as the goddess brought meaning to the formless, we set out to reshape perceptions of Greek cuisine — moving beyond the clichés of gyros and moussaka to reveal the true soul of Greek food: fresh, honest ingredients rooted in seasonality, simplicity, and nourishment. This is the heart of the Mediterranean diet.

At GAEA, we do not view the Earth as a resource to exploit, but as a sacred partner—one to be honoured through ethical farming, thoughtful stewardship, and uncompromising standards.

– Our olives are hand-harvested not for convenience, but out of conscience.
– We collaborate with small-scale farmers whose wisdom has been passed down through generations — not through manuals.
– Every drop of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is cold-extracted within hours of harvest, preserving its full aromatic profile and polyphenol-rich complexity that true connoisseurs value.
– Only the finest batches pass our expert sensory panel and undergo rigorous third-party analysis, ensuring that what reaches your table is nothing short of exceptional.
