About Us

It all started there… It was by our olive grove, the smell and taste of our olive oil emanating from the meals that were bringing all the family together around the big wooden table… the best memories a child can have!

Years have passed by, and after succeeding as a trained molecular oncologist at Oxford University and spending years in scientific research, for me, it felt that it is a legacy to return and payback with my scientific expertise in our olive grove.

Gourmet Superfood Philosophy

Sphera Olive Oil Estate is owned and operated today by the third generation of the Ledaki family. This beautiful estate is located in the sun-blessed region of Chania, within the majestic landscapes of Kafouros village. Embracing the third generation of dedication, energy, and scientific knowledge, we have focused on the development of our family’s estate. Our philosophy and ambition are to promote a healthy lifestyle based on a balanced Mediterranean diet, which also encompasses a way of life.

Our extra virgin olive oil is defined by extremely high quality, freshness, and superb taste. To achieve this, at Sphera Estate, we strive to control every step of the production process. Under the guidance of Dr. Ioanna Ledaki, Sphera’s Gourmet founder, we combine scientific understanding with the best cultivating and harvesting methods, state-of-the-art oil olive milling, and modern bottling technologies. Sphera Extra Virgin Olive Oil has an exceptionally high amount of phenols – one of the primary factors responsible for the increased longevity. Just 20g of Sphera Extra Virgin Olive Oil a day can significantly diminish the toxic effect of oxidative stress on our bodies (European Union regulation 432/2012).

We take pride in bringing to our customers this truly Superfood product – the Sphera Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Sphera Extra Virgin Olive Oil was always an excuse for the family and beloved friends to come together, a tradition that these days is scientifically proven to be as important as our diet habits along with exercise for our good health. We strongly encourage you to continue this tradition that adds up to their overall health!
