Our story

From Hekal, with patience.

Olio Kursi is a story of land, olives and a family that has worked with the same care for generations. Today, we share it with your table.

Roots in Hekal. Flavour in Vlorë.

“We are not simply making oil. We are keeping alive a way of doing things with care.”

The name Olio Kursi is tied to Hekal, a place where the olive tree is part of everyday life. Since 1928, our story has been built on a simple relationship: know the land, respect the fruit and never rush.

Over time, the olive family grew to include Mallakastër and Kaninë — two territories that give the oil its character. Today, the olives are pressed at our factory in Vlorë, where tradition meets present-day care.

The result is an extra virgin olive oil that does not speak loudly. It speaks through its aroma, its flavour and your table.

What guides us

Land, hands and time.

  1. 01

    The land

    Mallakastër and Kaninë are not just locations. They are the character of the oil.

  2. 02

    The hands

    Hand-picking and selecting the olives make the difference you cannot see on a label.

  3. 03

    The time

    Cold-pressing and careful storage give the oil the time it needs to become itself.
