Family History
You might be wondering where the name Olimitzi has come from or what it means. Chris, the Founder of Olimitzi
decided to call the business Olimitzi after his mum Olive Mitsinga.
Olive's Father Christodolous Mitsinga was born in the1920s and moved to the UK from Paphos, Cyprus after the
war in the 1940’s. He joined the rest of his family in Balham, London, where he set up business and started his new life!
