Plakias is a family-run producer based in the village of Mariou in the Rethymno region of southern Crete, where production takes place close to the olive groves that supply the raw material. The company builds on a multi-generational tradition of olive cultivation and oil production, maintaining a direct connection between farming and processing.

Its core product is extra virgin olive oil made primarily from the Koroneiki variety, which is well suited to the local conditions and known for producing oils with consistent quality and aromatic intensity. The olives are grown in the wider area of southern Rethymno, where the combination of Mediterranean climate, elevation, and proximity to the sea contributes to the oil’s freshness and character.

Processing and standardization are carried out in modern facilities under controlled conditions to preserve low acidity and maintain chemical stability. The bottling unit operates in accordance with international food safety standards, including ISO 22000 certification.

The product range includes both conventional and organic extra virgin olive oils, available in different packaging formats such as glass bottles and metal tins. In sensory terms, the oils typically show a balanced profile with fresh, fruity notes and a mild peppery finish, consistent with Koroneiki-based oils from Crete.
