The company was formed in 2001 when the love for nature, ecology and a healthier lifestyle took shape in the northern Aegean island, the evergreen Thassos. Since then, the cultivation of Thassos olive (Olea europea var. Thassos Throuba) is made exclusively in accordance with organic farming standards, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

We also process and package its fruit in order to produce mainly table olives and olive oil. With time, and detecting market needs for clean and quality food a "Protected Designation of Origin" product was created. It is subjected only to mild processing, without heat treatment (pasteurization), and it contains only a small amount of salt compared with similar product in the market. Attention is also paid to the packaging of the olive fruit - durable, impervious to oxygen, in modified atmosphere - so the olive is not oxidized and it preserves its unique characteristics of flavor and aroma. While the oil is extracted at an external independent unit (mill), special attention is given to temperatures, which are developed in the process, so that the final product contains all the excellent features of an Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Thassos (Protected Geographical Indication). If the conditions are right, then we produce Early harvest olive oil. The name 'Velouitinos' which accompanies all products is a unique and original concept created specifically to highlight the unique qualitative characteristics of olives, olive oil, but also of the perennial trees from which they are produced. It corresponds to a character as presented in the original etiquettes of Velouitinos, and nowadays constitutes a point of reference for them.
