Olive Tree Ownership & Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve gathered the most common questions our clients ask about owning a tree and becoming part of
Olea Legacy.
About Olea Legacy
What is Olea Legacy?
Olea Legacy is the world’s first ultra-premium olive tree ownership experience. We allow individuals, families, and businesses to own an olive tree grove or lease a centuries-old olive tree(s) in Greece and receive personalized, handcrafted extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from their tree’s harvest.
Is Olea Legacy just another olive oil subscription?
Not at all. Unlike olive oil clubs or luxury brands, Olea Legacy offers ownership and not just a product. You receive olive oil from your own tree, not a blend, and can visit it, harvest it, and be part of its story.
Tree Ownership & Packages
What do I receive when I purchase a tree?
You receive ownership rights to a specific olive tree in one of our historic groves of your choise, a personalized certificate and plaque, and annual delivery of your olive oil in custom bottles. You’ll also receive updates from your tree and have the option to visit.
What packages are available?
We offer four tiers:
The Legacy Tree (€3,000+)
The Heritage Grove (€6,000+ / 3–5 trees)
The Legacy Estate (private grove, €25,000–€100,000+)
The Collector’s Club (non-ownership subscriptions and experiences)
Can I upgrade from one package to another later?
Yes. Clients often begin with a Legacy Tree and later expand to a Heritage Grove or Legacy Estate. Your original investment can be credited toward an upgrade.
Is there an annual fee?
Yes, each package includes an annual maintenance fee which covers cultivation, care, harvesting, pressing, bottling, storage, and shipping.
Olive Oil Production
Do I get oil from my actual tree(s)?
Yes, always. We guarantee that only your tree’s olives are used in your bottles. There are no blends or co-pressing from other trees or groves.
How much olive oil will I receive each year?
It depends on your package. A single tree typically yields up to 5L. Larger packages (groves or estates) may yield 10–50L+ annually.
How is the oil packaged?
Your oil is hand-bottled in elegant glass containers with your custom label featuring your name, crest, or gift dedication. Clients may receive custom-designed glass or engraved metal decanters.
Tree Location & Ownership Details
Where are the trees located?
In protected, ancient groves across Crete, the Peloponnese, Halkidiki, Aegean & Ionian islands, and other historically significant olive-growing regions of Greece.
Do I legally own the land or the tree?
Only the Legacy Estate ownership package offers a legal registry listing, accompanied by an official deed for the land and the olive trees. For all the other packages, you own the exclusive rights to your designated tree(s) and their harvest. Legal land ownership is retained by our cooperative under long-term conservation protections, ensuring proper care and sustainability.
Will my tree be marked?
Yes. Every tree features a custom plaque with your name or family crest, along with GPS coordinates, accessible via a private map.
Visiting Your Tree in Greece
Can I visit my tree in person?
Yes! All clients may schedule visits by appointment. Legacy and Heritage Grove owners receive guided tours, while Legacy Estate clients may enjoy VIP harvest experiences.
When is the best time to visit?
The olive harvest season runs from October to December. Spring (April–June) is also ideal for cultural immersion and grove experiences.
Do you offer travel packages?
Yes. Our team curates personalized travel experiences, including:
Private harvest days
Gastronomic events
Cultural excursions
VIP hospitality for Founder’s Collection clients
Can I bring guests?
Absolutely. We welcome spouses, families, and guests on all the experience tiers.
Shipping & Delivery
Where do you ship?
We ship worldwide. All olive oil deliveries include insured, climate-protected shipping and customs processing where necessary.
When will I receive my olive oil?
Bottling takes place shortly after harvest (typically by January/February), with delivery in early spring each year.
Is the packaging gift-ready?
Yes. All bottles arrive in elegant presentation boxes, ready for gifting or display.
Custom Gifting & Corporate Orders
Can I gift a tree to someone else?
Yes. Our packages make exceptional gifts for weddings, anniversaries, retirements, and milestone moments. The recipient will receive a custom welcome kit and annual harvest updates.
Do you offer custom or corporate orders?
We offer branded gifting, custom labels, and bulk olive oil for Michelin restaurants, boutique hotels, and corporate partners. Contact our partners@olealegacy.com team for a quote.
Sustainability & Social Impact
How does Olea Legacy support the environment?
We use regenerative farming practices, avoid chemical fertilizers, and support biodiversity. Your tree helps preserve ancient groves and rural Greek agriculture.
Do you support local communities?
Yes. We partner with family-owned farms, employ local artisans and cultivators, and reinvest a large portion of each sale into grove conservation.
Payments & Refunds
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfers, and we offer custom invoicing for large gifts or corporate orders.
Are purchases refundable?
Because each tree is hand-selected and assigned, all sales are final. However, packages can be transferred or upgraded by written request.
