Stalida Olive Mill holds the distinction of being the first olive mill established in 2013 by the Ntambosis family in Imathia, based in the village of Kouloura, Macedonia. From the very beginning, the mill invested in state-of-the-art technology, equipping its facilities with cutting-edge machinery for both olive oil production and quality control.
