Opuntia Farm in Keramies Kefalonia

An organic prickly pear farm cultivating innovation, community, and health

The Heart of Opuntia Kefalonia

Opuntia Kefalonia is an organic prickly pear farm located in the fertile region of Livathos, Kefalonia. Since 2017, we’ve been cultivating over 40 stremmas of land with one mission: to unlock the full potential of this extraordinary fruit through sustainable farming and smart innovation.

Today, we grow over 40 stremmas of land using sustainable and innovative farming techniques, always with a focus on quality.

From planting and harvesting to our custom-designed thorn-removal system launched in 2025, every step reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and progress.

Innovation in Every Thorn

Our team proudly developed a state-of-the-art prickly pear cleaning machine — a game-changer that improves fruit safety, shelf life, and commercial value. It's part of our broader goal: to make prickly pear accessible to more markets while honoring the fruit’s natural integrity.

Why prickly pear?

Naturally low in calories but rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, prickly pear is considered a powerful superfood.

It helps regulate blood sugar levels, supports digestion, and may even reduce hangover symptoms.

Sweet, refreshing, and full of plant-based goodness — it’s a fruit that gives back.
