Olive Auction built this page from public records so buyers can find the estate. Its own people can claim it at no cost — complete the story, list lots, answer buyers.
After a claim, we confirm by emailEverything here comes from public sources — award lists, certification registers, the territory inventories. The rest of the story — the family, the grove, the real age of the trees, this year's lab sheet — only the mill can tell, and it is the part buyers bid on.
The Sophocleous family set up Terra Oliva in 2001, on ground in the hills above Pano Lefkara that had already been carrying olive trees for centuries. Some of those trees they date at around 300 years old, others further back, and one they put at over a thousand years old, a tree the Cyprus government has issued an official certificate for and placed under protection, though the age itself is the family's own reckoning. Around that old grove the family built up the rest of the farm, now more than 7,000 trees, grown under organic certification and pressed in a mill fitted out with stainless steel tanks and modern presses. What comes off that ground is extra virgin olive oil, table olives, olive paste, and a handful of other products, all made on site by the Sophocleous family, a quarter century into the work.

A producer account takes a minute — name, mill, region. We attach this profile the same day.
Lab numbers, tree references, harvest dates, a photo — the tap-through form asks only for what buyers pay for.
Auction with a confidential reserve, or a fixed-price allocation. We review it and it goes live.
