The villagers of Chandrinos are hospitable and generous in nature, treating family, neighbors and strangers alike. Proud of his family traditions and the hard work they put forth for this superior product, Christos Lembessis wanted to share it with his circle of friends, colleagues and extended family. Bringing in small private imports for just that reason, he realized that there was a demand for a superior product at modest costs, one that came straight from the source.

St-Elias became an adventure he embarked on with his wife Valeria, who like Christos, is as passionate and determined to provide you, friends and family, with premium olive oil. 

Grown, harvested and cold-pressed in Chandrinos, in the region of Messinia, Greece, the olives used by St-Elias Olive Oil are among the best Greece has to offer. The small church at the top of the mountain, named after Prophet Elias, is at the center of this small village that prides itself in the quality of their olive groves. The fruit of our product is grown in nourishing soil, sun-kissed by the Mediterranean sun and harvested by passionate farmers who truly love the land. With roots in this village, St-Elias Olive Oil offers premium olive oil straight from the source, from our family to yours.
