EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Explore our available varieties: premium Koroneiki, with its rich and intense character, and velvety, aromatic Manaki, ideal for refined palates.
Authentic flavors of extra virgin olive oil from our family groves in the heart of Messinia and Arkadia. Explore our available varieties: premium Koroneiki, with its rich and intense character, and velvety, aromatic Manaki, ideal for refined palates.
KORONEIKI
With a strong fruity aroma reminiscent of freshly cut grass, green apple, artichoke, and walnut, the Koroneiki variety has a balanced mild spiciness and a light bitter tone, making it ideal for a variety of cuisines and cooking methods.
Harvest season begins in early December using solely mechanical means. The extraction process, via cold pressing (malaxation temperature <27°C), is completed within 24 hours from harvest to ensure the superior quality and the preservation of antioxidant levels. Storage is carried out in certified stainless steel nitrogen tanks (the use of which eliminates the presence of oxygen by automatically replenishing the space created in the tank as it empties, while balancing the pressure). In this way, we ensure that our olive oil does not oxidize and retains all its nutrients intact before bottling. The oil extraction and bottling processes take place in Kyparissia, Messinia.
The excellent microclimate and soil factors that characterize the Messinian terroir, combined with the high-quality harvesting and oil extraction methods we apply, deliver low acidity levels.
Available in 5L and 500ml tinplate cans, lightly filtered.
