a note from us
A family tradition since 1974
We are not a factory. We are a family in a small village, picking our own olives once a year and sharing the oil with the people who come to collect it.
Dear friends, since 1974 our family has made olive oil in Akrounta. Each year there is only one harvest, so we keep it small and do it properly. Thank you for keeping our oil on your table.
— the Assiotis family
where it grows
Akrounta, the village on the edge
The name comes from the Greek for “edge”: the village sits on the edge of the valley carved by the Amathus River, about 5 km north of Germasogeia.
1236
Medieval records from 1236–1247 already name the village “Akrounda”.
Ancient
The folklorist Nearchos Clerides counted Akrounta among the oldest villages in Cyprus.
1970
One of the first villages in Cyprus to reorganise its farmland, four years before our first oil.
5 km
From Germasogeia, near the dam and the churches of Agios Georgios and Agios Loukas.

Questions we get asked.
How do I pay?
Nothing is paid on the website. Pay when you collect your oil in Akrounta, or send it by Revolut (@welemg) before you come.
Do you deliver?
No. Every order is collected from the family in Akrounta, so we can hand it over in person. We arrange a time with you when we call.
What if it sells out?
We press only once a year, so when this year's oil is gone, it's gone. Leave your email and we'll tell you as soon as the next harvest is ready.
Where do I collect it?
From our family in Akrounta, about 5 km north of Germasogeia in the Limassol District. We'll give you directions and a time when we call.
