Olives
Greece produces an average of 120 000 tons of table olives per year and exports 80% of the production.
The Greek olive varieties are unique in the world.
The three main varieties are:
Kalamata olives
Fruits are cylindro-conical, curved, showing a prominent tip at the end.
They turn a beautiful black color when reaching maturity and gain their special organoleptic characteristics from their high oil content.
Halkidiki and Amfissa olives
Fruits are elongated, with a prominent tip at the bottom; the pit is slightly curved and the flesh has a good texture.
Conservoelia (black natural olives)
Fruits are round to oval-shaped, having a thin, elastic and resistant to shriveling skin and the pulp has a fine, consistent texture.

Oleins
Through its plant in Patras the company produces oleins and other products out of Olive oil production byproducts.
In this the company expects to become soon the largest single buyer of pomace oil in Greece from June onwards.
Oleins are a by-product of alkaline refining of crude oils.
Crude Oil usually contains large amounts of free fatty acids. In order to be used in edible applications we need to refine it. The refining consists of processes like neutralization with alkali solutions, bleaching and deodorization. One of the by-products of alkaline refining is soapstock. Acidification of soapstock using sulphuric acid gives Oleins.
Oleins are used for producing laundry soap, as an important ingredient in making animal feed formulations, or various resins or biodiesel.
