Our name didn’t come about by accident; in ancient Greek mythology, Gaea was Mother Earth—a symbol of fertility and the goodness of the earth. As such, our vision has been to introduce the world to the benefits of the Greek Mediterranean diet by combining exquisite Greek products based on olive oil with our penchant for tradition and simplicity. Gaea is much more than elegantly-packaged wholesome foods and fine ingredients. It is a genuine philosophy of life, at the core of which is a deep appreciation for nature. We’ve always favored non-aggressive harvesting over large volumes and high yields. And although we invest heavily in research and employ cutting-edge technology, we never stray too much from time-honored practices. Our goal is to become international ambassadors not just of top-quality olive oil products, but of a better, healthier, more fulfilling way of eating—and living. Gaea’s significant know-how has allowed the development of an extended distribution network that supports the international distribution of its products. 82% of GAEA sales are in the international market. EUROPE (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Britain, Finland, France, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and The Netherlands Asia (China and Hong Kong) Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Brazil GAEA Owns all of the Olive Farms We control our olives so we can ensure our quality standards and ethics are met every day. Providing the best and most ethical olives and olive oil for our customers Commitment To Sustainability Climate Change is a reality that demands a higher level of responsibility from all of us. In recognizing the severity of this issue, GAEA has minimized its impact on the climate by measuring and counterbalancing carbon emissions (CO2) of its olive oil products, in cooperation with the Swiss organization “myclimate”. Measurements of carbon emissions are taken during the entire production cycle. This includes the cultivation and transportation of olives, the production and bottling of the olive oil and, finally, the distribution of the end product in Greece and abroad. As a result, the GAEA olive oils have minimized their negative impact on the environment and have become the first Extra Virgin olive oils in the world certified as Carbon Neutral.
