Dr. Kavvadia was an orthopaedic surgeon who lived on the island of Corfu many years ago. His greatest passion was producing olive oil from his centenarian olive grove, a very special grove of a local variety called “Lianelia.”
He had a hunch that when olive oil is produced correctly, it could acquire the healing properties of medicine.
To achieve this, he treated his olive grove with the utmost respect, using only natural farming methods. Today, his techniques would be called a blend of permaculture and sustainable farming. He knew that only strong, healthy, and happy olive trees would produce the exceptional fruit he sought. He ensured his olive grove thrived in the same way.
