It all started years ago, around 1940, when senior Konstantinos Bountouris started to cultivate Green Greek olives, based in a small village called Kalives, located in central Halkidiki. Bountouris senior dedicated his entire life to the cultivation and production of Greek Green olives, serving this precious business with real passion and true commitment. His cherished creation was then bequeathed to his two sons, who officially joined the project in 2000, continuing their father’s legacy with love, expertise and the vision to produce premium quality olives. Their business therefore constantly grew. In 2009 they established Bountouris GP, investing in two new buildings with industrial installations covering an area of 3000m2 with production lines equipped with the most advanced machinery.
Bountouris company has embraced and applied the so-called “field to fork” concept. It is a holistic concept that demonstrates the company’s ability to carefully select the products and to monitor all procedures, from the harvest till the final packaging, while processing approximately 2000-2500 tons of olives on an annual basis.

The company’s concept “From field to fork” derives from the fact that
Bountouris company proudly offers a genuine and safe product, that
originates from Halkidiki -from their land- and reaches consumers’
tables around the globe.
Apart from having its own private olive groves, the company also
cooperates with a prolific network of farmers that share the same
vision and qualities: responsible management practices to ensure
sustainability and protection of the environment.
Our company’s role is vital each step of the way, from the pampering
of the trees and harvesting of the olives, all the way to manufacturing
and distributing the end product, consequently ensuring extremely
thorough and careful trace-ability and better quality results.
TREE SEASONS
Olives have been an important part of human diet for thousand of
years, long before the canning industry, grocery stores and martinis
came into play. The history of olive cultivation is impressively long, since
olive trees are some of the oldest trees ever harvested by humans.
Unlike most plants, Olives trees or Olea Europaea are not grown from
seeds, but rather from cut roots or branches buried in the soil and
allowed to root.
SELECTED OLIVES
When it comes to our olives, great taste and exceptional quality is no coincidence. We strive to collect the best that this long cherished plant has to offer. Our meticulous care throughout all the stages of the cultivation process till the moment of harvesting, reassures that every single olive is as good as it can get.
