Who is Thekla Galazoudi?

Thekla Galazoudi is a certified Olive Oil Sommelier and passionate advocate for Mediterranean nutrition and wellness. She is the co-founder of Back2roots, a brand dedicated to bringing authentic, organic foods to people who value quality and transparency. Growing up in Greece, she experienced first hand how olive oil is not just food, but a way of life, culture, and health. Today, she combines tradition with science, sharing her expertise to help people discover how to select and enjoy authentic extra virgin olive oil for its extraordinary health benefits.

Passion & Why I Do This:

I believe olive oil is more than a staple—it’s a gift of nature that protects our health. There is so much misinformation and marketing noise that often confuses consumers, leading them to miss out on the true health benefits of real extra virgin olive oil. I feel I am on a mission to educate people on making the right choices when it comes to olive oil. My goal is to cut through that confusion, empower people with knowledge, and guide them toward authentic, high-quality olive oils they can trust for both flavour and wellness.
