The family wanted to share the passion of being involved in olive growing with even more people as well as to share the secrets of the good life while enjoying the extra virgin olive oil. Because every person on earth writes their own history and as Greek olive oil is intertwined with ancient Greek history and mythology, the idea was born to name the company 8:26 Histories. The name refers to the series of books Histories of Herodotus, which today is considered the fundamental basis of history in Western civilization. Among other things, Herodotus in his 8th book in chapter 26 refers to the crown from an olive branch as the prize of the winner of the Olympic Games. It is the first reference to the olive tree in the historical references of Herodotus. The name highlights the historicity of the olive tree and the fact that the olive tree and its derivatives were known and had an important value in the life of the ancient Greeks. The cultivation of olive trees has been a family tradition for three generations! A pleasant and fulfilling pastime, where passion, knowledge and experience are harmoniously combined. A family’s desire for direct contact with Mother Nature… The cultivation of our own olive groves is performed traditionally with absolute respect to the environment. Using natural rocks, non-mechanized production and the utmost care of the cultivation, we have succeeded in creating a low-acidity first harvested extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality. The traditional varieties “Manaki” and “Throumpa from the island of Evia” have been cultivated in our olive groves for at least six decades. Our olive groves are located in the wider area of Psachna on Evia island, about 15 kilometers from the city of Chalkida. The estates are located on the fertile plain of Psachna, a stone’s throw from the sea and have an unobstructed view lying below the Greek sky.

Olivar del Valle Oils, S.L. is the fruit of our land and the value of seeking quality and excellence in all our work.

he olives for Jordan Olive Oil come exclusively from our own cultivation and from families in the mountainous region of the island of Lesbos. They are handpicked and processed naturally. Any cloudiness and occasional sediment are characteristics of natural and high-quality processing. This ensures that the valuable fatty accompaniments and, not least, the delicately fruity taste remain in the olive oil. Our philosophy: to produce one of the best olive oils at a fair price. The high quality standard is confirmed by satisfied customers, including many of the best chefs in Germany and France. Premium quality through generations - for three generations, we have been cultivating our Jordan olive groves on the Greek island of Lesbos. In the late 1980s, Bastian Jordan's grandparents migrated to the island and built their house amidst the olive grove. From the beginning until today, the family's philosophy remains the same. Today, Bastian Jordan leads the operation in the third generation, with the fourth generation already climbing the trees. Fair partnership with our Greek friends and business partners. Exceptional quality at fair prices for our customers. Our goal: to produce one of the best olive oils ever.

Ich betreibe meinen Betrieb als Einzelhändler schon seit über 24 Jahren. Meine Kunden sind Privat- und Geschäftskunden (Edeka, Großküchen, Einzelhandel). Während der Winter-/Früchtesaison liefere ich nicht nur die Ware aus sondern führe auch einen Lagerverkauf und einen kleinen Laden mit meinen Produkten. Hauptsächlich verkaufe ich Bio-Zitrusfrüchte aus Sizilien bzw. Italien. Durch engen Kontakt mit meinen Lieferanten weiß ich woher die Bio-Zitrusfrüchte herkommen! Der kontrollierte Anbau ist die Basis für unsere Bio-Produkte. Seit 2008 sind wir ein zertifizierter Betrieb! Durch den Kontakt mit Sizilien bin ich dann 2017 auf die Oliven bzw. Olivenöl gestoßen. Daraus entstand dann langsam und gewissenhaft unser Olivenöl Extra Vergine.
