Our Signature Ultra Extra Virgin Olive Oil – PGI Lakonia
Discover the essence of Lakonia in our signature extra virgin olive oil, a certified organic treasure crafted with care and tradition. This oil proudly carries the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Lakonia, honouring its unique origin in the sun-drenched, hilly groves of Southern Greece.
Hand-harvested while green, our olives come from two exceptional Greek varieties: the renowned Koroneiki and the ancient Athinolia, a heritage cultivar celebrated for its complexity and elegance. Within hours of harvest, the olives are gently cold-extracted to preserve their vibrant aromas, nutritional integrity, and natural freshness.
With an ultra-low acidity of just 0.19%, this olive oil qualifies as Ultra Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a testament to its outstanding quality. Rich in polyphenols and the powerful anti-inflammatory compound oleocanthal, it carries a health claim, supporting heart health and overall well-being.
Each bottle is single origin and bottled at the source, ensuring full traceability and the freshest possible experience. The result is a finely balanced oil, with notes of fresh-cut grass, green leaves, and wild artichoke — a true reflection of the Lakonian terroir.
Elevate your everyday meals with a product of nature, heritage, and craftsmanship.
