Konstantinos Patistis

Konstantinos Patistis is an agronomist, certified olive oil taster, producer, and olive farmer based in South Pelion, Greece. After studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Patras, he traveled to South Africa to pursue his first passion: culinary arts and pastry. After finishing his studies there and gaining valuable experience, he spent three years working at high-end, Michelin-starred, and traditional restaurants before leaving the culinary world to join the family winery and restore the family-owned olive groves. Olive trees and extra virgin olive oil quickly became his true passions, prompting him to study Agronomy at the Department of Agriculture, Crop Production, and Rural Environment at the University of Thessaly. Later, Konstantinos fully committed himself to managing the family olive groves and producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil. He was then awarded a scholarship by the International Olive Council to attend the olive oil tasting course at the University of Jaén, which he successfully completed. A food enthusiast and passionate forager, he now uses his knowledge to provide culinary experiences and olive oil tastings to like-minded individuals through Terpsis Experiences, which he co-founded.
