Athenaki is a boutique family-owned olive oil brand, rooted in the rich soil of a centuries-old olive grove in Athens, Greece. While our extraction techniques have evolved over the generations, the authentic flavor of our oil is timeless. Athenaki proudly stands as the pioneer in introducing a distinct innovation to the olive oil market: the successful infusion of organic lavender. This unique blend has not only set our oil apart but has also captivated palates with its uniquely delightful flavor.
The olive oil market is crowded and competitive, making it challenging for consumers to identify genuinely high-quality products. Many brands make similar claims about purity and authenticity, which can confuse and overwhelm shoppers.
Athenaki distinguishes itself in a saturated market by highlighting its heritage from ancient olive groves in Athens, Greece, ensuring authenticity. Innovatively, Athenaki has introduced a unique lavender-infused olive oil, leveraging Greece's status as a top lavender producer. This addition not only sets Athenaki apart but also caters to the modern palate, blending tradition with contemporary culinary trends.
