Makaria Terra Olive Oil: A Taste of Golden Harmony

Nestled in the heart of Messinia, just north of Kalamata, lies Makaria Terra—a land rich in history, tradition, and the ancient art of olive cultivation. Founded in 2014 by Evgenia Andriopoulou and Achilleas Mavranezoulis, this biodiverse estate is dedicated to producing premium Koroneiki extra virgin olive oil that honors both the earth and the soul (Mediterrolio).

From Rain‑Fed Groves to Gold Medals

Makaria Terra’s olive trees thrive without irrigation or synthetic interventions. Instead, they rely on the purity of rainwater and organic farming methods. Olives are harvested and cold-pressed on the same day, with packaging choices like Bag‑in‑Box and eco-pouches preserving freshness while reducing waste .

The results speak for themselves:

  • NYIOOC Gold Medal 2021 & 2025 – testament to ultra‑low acidity and a harmonious balance of fruity, bitter, and peppery notes (The Olive Trading Co.).
  • Japan Olive Oil Prize 2025 – Gold, plus multiple awards from global competitions like LAIOOC and JOOP (Japan Olive Oil Prize).

A Commitment to Community: Mediterrolio Gold

In 2024, Makaria Terra earned Gold membership in the Mediterrolio Olive Oil Network, a prestigious platform connecting top-tier Mediterranean EVOO producers (Mediterrolio). This distinction reflects their unwavering commitment to excellence, transparency, and sustainable farming—and aligns them with an elite circle of premium olive oil brands across the region.

Being part of Mediterrolio means ongoing quality assurance, B2B visibility, and an active role in shaping premium olive oil culture. As a Gold member, Makaria Terra stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Mediterranean peers who share a passion for tradition, taste, and terroir.
