Demeter is based on the teaching of the anthroposophy Rudolf Steiner and sees itself as a global valid quality label for biodynamic food. The greatest consequence of the observance of natural agriculture and sustainable processing is the need for foods with the Demeter seal certified will.

The motto of Demeter is: “It’s good if every part goes well.” This means that the environment, plants, animals and people are together in a large cycle where everyone is dependent on the others and at the same time everyone helps the others. In order to return to the olive oil, this means that the demeter olive oil is subject both to olive cultivation and to biodynamic principles.

There are no exclusive monocultures. Chemical agents are not allowed for fertilization or for pest control. Animal husbandry or use of biodynamically kept regional animals are a must. The animals receive only vegetable feed and biodynamic preparations if necessary. Animal pastures are also subject to strict Demeter guidelines. Many demeter farmers are also dependent on the moon cycles during the planting and harvesting of olive trees, which also affect the growth of fruits.
