Weighing
Every oil is weighed to the gram before production begins.

Malevizi · Heraklion, Crete
I am a pharmacist, my sister is a chemist. We make cold process soap with the olive oil we harvest ourselves in our groves in Malevizi, Crete.

ANODY did not start as a business plan. It started with two siblings who grew up among olive trees in Malevizi, Heraklion, and learned the value of olive oil long before they could explain it.
Malevizi has produced olive oil since Minoan times: at Tylissos, a few kilometres from our trees, excavations uncovered storerooms full of huge oil jars. Later, oil from these hills went down to the harbour of Heraklion and fed the soap works of the Mediterranean. Soap here isn't a trend — it is the oldest use of our oil.
The olive oil comes exclusively from our family groves. We buy no raw material from third parties: we bring the oil of our own harvest into the workshop and weigh it precisely before every batch.
“We know the origin of every gram of oil.”
Behind every batch there are two scientific backgrounds.
Angelos studied Pharmacy, Eirini studied Chemistry. Two different paths that led to the same workshop. The name ANODY comes from our initials — a personal mark on every bar. Each batch is made with weighed ratios and full traceability, from the olive oil to the finished bar.

And then begins the process that refuses to be rushed.
Our first batch was made with the cold process method, with no shortcuts and no additives we cannot explain.

Every oil is weighed to the gram before production begins.
A controlled process, with the same conditions in every batch.
Six weeks of curing, for hardness and a stable texture.
Every batch is checked before release. Whatever fails the criteria never leaves the workshop.
Out of that process come four bars.
Same olive oil, same process. Only the herb or the butter in the formulation changes.
