Our story

Ariston Arcadia Cooperative was founded in 2012 by people with a love for healthy eating, based on the value and wisdom of our country’s tradition and the goods it offers us so richly, olives and olive oil.

The company is based in Astros, Arcadia, in the area of Thirea which is known for the production of high quality virgin olive oil. Its founders, Sotiris Boutsikakis and Christos Vlachos, were born and live in this region up until today. Their origin from peasant families, prompted them to deal with the standardization of their own products, olive and olive oil. With these, the company started taking its first steps, while some more products were added, such as organic honey, balsamic vinegar, herbs and sea salt.

Our company is the exclusive supplier of Village Batch since 2013, which is based in Chicago Illinois, United States of America. Village Batch supplies the Mariano’s chain of stores, Jewel-Osco and various restaurants in the area.

In order to offer you an olive oil of excellent quality and taste, preserving all the beneficial ingredients of the olive, we choose the best fruit from the olive groves of the region and oil it with cold pressing.

We store the olive oil in stainless steel tanks and standardize it with strict specifications, thus ensuring the hygiene and safety of the consumer.

The aromatic plants are gathered by hand from the slopes of Mount Parnonas, the largest mountain range of Arcadia rich in hundreds of different species. Sea salt is also collected by hand from the shores of Mediterranean Mani. The rest of our products are taken directly from their producers and standardized, always following the strictest international rules of safety and hygiene, in order to fully satisfy our customers.

Our philosophy is to offer only what we consume. With our experience and the expertise of our scientific partners, we choose the best of the varieties in extra virgin and organic olive oil and guarantee that we can cover the taste of even the most demanding consumer.

Our corporate vision is to have satisfied consumers willing to spend more on products, recognizing their strengths and special characteristics.

We invite you to share the unique taste of our olive oil and allow us to guarantee your complete satisfaction.
