Kidonakis Bros, operating under the Oleum Crete brand, is a family-owned producer based in southern Crete, with roots in the Messara region. Established in 1983 in Tympaki, the company focuses on the cultivation and processing of the Koroneiki olive variety, which is well adapted to the island’s climate and soil conditions.

Their production is centered on extra virgin olive oil, combining traditional harvesting practices with modern extraction technology to preserve the integrity of the fruit. The process is closely monitored from grove to bottling, ensuring consistency in quality and traceability.

Their oils are typically characterized by low acidity and a notable concentration of polyphenols, resulting in a balanced profile with fresh, fruity notes and a mild bitterness. In addition to standard lines, the company produces limited batches such as early harvest and organic oils sourced from selected groves in the Messara plain.

Kidonakis Bros operates certified facilities aligned with international food safety standards, reflecting a structured production approach. Over time, their oils have gained presence in export markets and have been recognized in various international quality competitions.

The overall identity of the company is built on linking regional origin, controlled production, and a consistent sensory profile typical of Cretan olive oil.
