Dr Kavvadia was an orthopaedic surgeon who lived on the island of Corfu many years ago. The Doctor's greatest passion was producing olive oil from his centenarian olive grove, a very special grove, from a local variety called “Lianelia”.

He had a hunch, that when olive oil is produced correctly, it acquires the healing properties of medicine.

To achieve this, the doctor treated his olive grove with the utmost respect, using only natural ways of farming. His techniques, today, would be called a blend of permaculture and sustainable farming. He knew that only strong, healthy, and happy olive trees will produce fruit with the exceptional characteristics that he sought. He made sure his olive grove felt the same way.
