THE HOUSES OF KALYVITIS ARE 100% SOLAR POWERED
Manufactured
with our hands
All products that are created at Kalyvitis are manufactured by us in a traditional way. In addition to olive oil, we make goat cheese, wine, honey, bread and we have eggs from our chickens. We are now also focusing on eating from our vegetable garden all year round. With your hands in the soil and seeing how your food is made, remains something special to us. Going back to basics is actually also learning to see, hear, smell and taste again.
Goat cheese
We have a few stubborn goats at Kalyvitis with whose milk we make our unique goat cheese. Each goat produces between 2 and 3 liters of milk per day. To make one cheese, we need about one liter of milk. The cheeses are small but full of flavor.
Fresh organic eggs
Although they have a great time together, our chickens love a little attention. Especially for vegetable waste, they come rushing to the fence. However, some of them know no boundaries and walk everywhere between the olive trees.
Thyme honey
The bees of Kalyvitis make thyme honey. This honey is made in the spring/summer when the thyme is in full bloom. We place our beehives around that time in places in the mountains where there is a lot of thyme.
Red wine
In September we harvest our grapes in the mountains above the village of Orino. These vineyards are not sprayed and partly irrigated. They have four types of grapes, Liatiko, Kotsifali, Syrah and Agiorgitiko.
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
In the month of November we start 'picking' the olives in our olive groves. Harvesting takes about two months on average. We mainly do the work by ourselves, but every now and then we get a helping hand from family and friends.

Our reinforcements!
The concept of Kalyvitis would not be complete without our animals. Each and every one of them is a special creature with their own character and their own contribution to the work here. Because they are so special, and without them Kalyvitis would not be what it is today, we would like to highlight them personally!
