The Wupper Oil Connection
MAZI means “together”—ordering Greek olive oil together and giving small farmers a future.
We bring unadulterated, sustainably produced extra-virgin olive oil from Daras (Messinia) to Wuppertal, made under fair working conditions and with fair wages. Together with the cooperative “Mazi Oli” (Athens), founded specifically for this purpose, and with the support of the German cooperative “Solidari Trade” (Berlin), we are building a production and distribution network that ensures high-quality products, fair prices for small-scale farmers, and planning security.
The Koroneiki olive variety is one of the best olive varieties. It is traditionally grown with little to no use of pesticides, cold-pressed, and gently processed. Its high polyphenol content makes it particularly beneficial to health and gives it a long shelf life. According to the producer, the oil’s acidity is 0.22 percent, which classifies it as extra virgin (under EU regulations, extra virgin olive oil must have an acidity level below 0.8%). The pressing temperature is 26–27 degrees Celsius, which qualifies as cold-pressing.
Group orders are placed online and can be picked up by you at the neighborhood office.

For every liter of olive oil sold, we at Öl-Connection Wupper donate 1 euro to the aid organization Naomi in Thessaloniki. Naomi has used our donations so far, for example, to produce 3,000 pairs of warm winter pants for refugees in northern Greece and distribute them free of charge. The pants are sewn in the Naomi textile workshop by refugees, who receive fair wages, social benefits, language support, and a respectful work environment in return. In this way, Naomi creates legal jobs, promotes the integration and participation of refugees in social life, and at the same time helps distribute much-needed winter clothing to people in camps and those without government support.
