Laconian origin
The oil begins near Sparta, at the foothills of Mount Taygetos.
Our story
True wealth flows from the earth
Plutos takes its name from the ancient Greek personification of agricultural abundance—a reminder that lasting value begins with land, craft, and care.
- Laconia
- Koroneiki & Athinolia
- Early October harvest
The pursuit of
excellence
In Aristophanes' Plutus, Wealth is blind and unable to distinguish between the just and the unjust. After his sight is restored at the sanctuary of Asclepius, the comedy asks who deserves abundance and how society values honest work. The name gives Plutos its central idea; it is not presented here as a direct quotation from the play.
The oil comes from Laconia, near Sparta, at the foothills of Mount Taygetos. Koroneiki and Athinolia olives bring complementary intensity, bitterness, and aromatic depth to the current release.
Harvest begins early, in October, while the fruit is still green. Extraction is controlled below 24°C, and bottling is completed in under 24 hours. Production is intentionally limited to 2,500 numbered 500ml bottles.

The idea behind the name
Abundance is most meaningful when its origin can be seen.
For Plutos, that means showing the place, the method, the scale of production, and the evidence behind every current release.
