In the heart of Corfu΄s historic centre, on an island where olive trees were first planted in the 14th century by the Venetians, the first olive oil bar has been created.

The olive tree is the symbol of peace, victory, euphoria and fertility. Philosophers, legislators and healers have referred to this sacred tree and its thousands of advantages since ancient times. With exactly the same passion and continuing to carve their own history in terms of Corfu's gastronomy, the Dafnis family is presenting its new shop for the promotion of Corfu's "liquid gold" with the signature of "The Governor" which opened its doors in Nikiforou Theotoki St. under the name "The Olive House".

A new chapter has started in the history of "The Governor"...

And this is because the first olive oil bar was created in the heart of Corfu's historic centre, on an island where olive trees were first planted in the 14th century by the Venetians. A pioneering tasting experience that the historic centre deserved to have thanks to the initiative of the Dafnis family and brothers, the most award-winning company of pure and virgin Corfiot olive oil with the brand "The Governor". A special olive oil tasting spot where both Greek and foreign visitors are given the opportunity to get to know and taste this liquid gold.

It is a minimal space with a warm atmosphere, with the olive wood dominating and the smells accompanying you, where you will learn a lot about the history of olive oil in Corfu, its properties, its old myths and folklore, the criteria of its flavours and finally you will enjoy the richness of its flavour in combination with other foods and elements. You will be impressed when you learn how much education a consumer needs in terms of nutrition from the experienced team at Olive House.

Lovers of authentic, undiscovered, unpretentious tourism can enjoy the purest product Corfu's nature has to offer. Guided by the five senses and through tasting, discover textures, flavours, images and countless aromas.
