Astarti is based on the island of Kythira and has been involved in organic farming since 1992, when Harry Tzortzopoulos returned to his forefathers’ island after university to take over his family’s olive groves. Organic farming and environmental awareness are at the heart of the Astarti philosophy, and they channel this into developing sustainable local produce and maintaining an active participation in the protection of the Kytherian land through ethical collaboration. Apart from their olive oil, they hand-harvest fine sea salt from the rocky shores of the island.
