Our Facilities
Built for Excellence
Where Tradition Meets Technology
Our state-of-the-art facility is the operational heart of Helia Olives. It is where the timeless traditions of Greek olive curing are powered by modern technology, precision engineering, and an unwavering commitment to food safety.
Every stage — from grove reception to final packaging — is housed in a controlled environment that meets the highest international standards, ensuring the natural perfection of each olive is preserved to the last jar.
Reception & Sorting
Upon arrival, fresh olives are immediately brought to our reception area. We use a combination of automated optical sorting technology and skilled hand-sorting to ensure only the finest, unblemished fruit moves on to the curing process. All batches are tracked in our digital traceability system from the moment they enter the facility.
Curing & Fermentation
Our olives develop their signature flavour in our temperature-controlled fermentation hall. Using traditional brine recipes refined over three generations, we allow the olives to cure naturally and slowly in our modern, food-grade polypropylene tanks. This unhurried, natural process removes all bitterness and cultivates a rich, complex taste profile unique to each variety.
Processing & Packaging
Once cured, the olives move to our fully automated processing and packaging lines. Whether being pitted, stuffed, flavoured, or jarred whole, every step is conducted in a sterile, positive-pressure environment. Our high-speed filling and sealing lines lock in freshness and guarantee consistent fill weights across every SKU.
Quality Assurance Laboratory
At the core of our operations is our dedicated in-house quality assurance laboratory. Our food scientists perform continuous testing on every production batch — verifying salinity, pH, colour index, firmness, and microbiological parameters. This scientific oversight guarantees that every product leaving our facility is consistent, safe, and meets our gold standard of quality.
Storage & Logistics
Finished products are stored in our climate-controlled warehouses with a capacity of over 3,500 pallet positions. A digital inventory management system ensures full batch traceability from grove to dispatch. Our dedicated logistics team coordinates both refrigerated and ambient shipments, ensuring our olives reach global partners in perfect condition and on schedule.
Standards & Accreditation
Our Commitment to Excellence
We are audited annually by independent certification bodies and comply fully with EU food safety regulations, BRC Global Standards, and the IFS Food Standard — giving our retail and foodservice partners complete confidence in every pallet they receive.
