The Fountas Family

115 Years of Heritage

115 Years of Heritage

The history of Olive Oil Press Fountas is more than just a business narrative; it is the history of our land. With deep roots in Filiatra, Messenia, our mill was established by our grandfathers over 115 years ago. From the first traditional presses to today’s high-tech facility, our philosophy remains unchanged: respect for the producer and a steadfast commitment to quality.

Today, managed by the third generation of the Fountas family, we continue with the same passion and profound respect for the "liquid gold" of our region. Decades of experience have taught us to recognize the perfect harvest time and the unique needs of the fruit. Despite our long history, we do not rest on the past. The most significant evolution occurred in the last 3 years, during which we invested in state-of-art machinery, creating one of the most modern production units in Messenia.

This investment has allowed us to reduce processing times and upgrade our services, offering our clients results that honor the Fountas name. For us, the olive tree is a family calling, and every drop we produce carries the signature of a tradition that endures, evolves, and leads the way.
