About Honest Toil EU

Run by Tom and Juli, Honest Toil is a small extra virgin olive oil project, based in Kyparissia, Peloponnese, Greece. While harvesting our own olives, we work directly with other growers and the local press, to bring the freshest and purest extra virgin olive oil from the groves of Messinia to your table. Spending our time between Greece, Budapest, Berlin, and the UK, we’ve been bringing the oil from our groves and nearby small farms to the other places we call ‘home’, sharing the experience of having this raw and fresh ingredient at hand. Honest Toil is our way of life and a way of connecting with and supporting the people and environment around us. Our central values are traceability, cooperation, and a respect for the human and nonhuman environment. In stark contrast to intensive, industrial olive oil production, groves in our area are small-scale and family-owned. Honest Toil is a family enterprise and we believe in direct trade with no middlemen. This means that our involvement is very hands-on at every step of the process, from picking through pressing to packing and often even delivering! This way, we can offer full traceability for our product. Read their story
