I am Aris Christopoulos, cofounder of Apo Kardias, a social cooperative in South Messinia, Greece. Organic olive grower since 2016.

My organisation

Apo Kardias is a social cooperative enterprise founded in 2019 in South Messinia, Greece, by a group of young producers who grew up in the olive groves of Koroni. Our mission is to cultivate, process, and share the authentic flavors of our land while promoting sustainability, tradition, and community values. We specialize in extra virgin organic olive oil, Kalamata olives, raisins,and herbs. All our products are grown with organic and environmentally friendly practices, respecting both the trees and the ecosystem. From harvest to processing, we ensure transparency, traceability, and the highest standards of quality. Beyond production, we are actively engaged in education, cultural promotion, and outreach. We welcome visitors to our fields and facilities, offering them the chance to experience olive growing firsthand and to discover the rich cultural heritage of Messinia. With an outward-looking spirit, Apo Kardias participates regularly in exhibitions, food fairs, and international markets, aiming to build partnerships and make our products accessible across Greece and Europe. At Apo Kardias, we believe food is more than a product – it is a story of people, land, and culture. And we are proud to share this story from the heart

About me

I was born in 1983 and hold a degree in History and Archaeology from the University of Athens. I am fluent in English and German, married, and the father of one daughter. I live in Koroni, in the heart of South Messinia, Greece.

From 2007 to 2016, I worked in the banking sector before making a significant career shift. In 2016, I co-founded the social cooperative Apo Kardias and became a professional organic olive grower, dedicating myself to cultivating high-quality olive oil and promoting the agricultural heritage of my region.
