Laconiko, the award-winning producer of single-origin, high phenolic extra virgin olive oils, has announced the release of its new harvest Koroneiki Estate Olive Oils. Pressed from olives grown on the southern coastline of Lakonia, Greece, this release reflects a year of careful cultivation and precise harvest timing. The company emphasizes that despite challenging weather conditions, quality was never compromised.
Diamantis Pierrakos, Producer and Co-Owner, stated, "Green harvested olive fruit tells a story of our land. The weather conditions created a challenging harvest year for much of Greece, but we never compromise on quality. We pick at the exact right moment, crush immediately, and obsess over quality so what ends up on your table is something we can be truly proud of."
Produced from early-harvested green Koroneiki olives and first cold-pressed within hours of picking, this year's oil is described as vibrant, fresh, and well-balanced. Pierrakos noted that the oil features "delicious green fruit notes and is well-balanced which is a perfect complement for everyday cooking, dressings, marinades, and finishing." This olive oil earned Laconiko recognition at the prestigious Athena International olive oil competition, where it was voted "The Best of Show Award" for producing the "Best Olive Oil from Greece" and "Best Koroneiki Internationally."
The new harvest is available for purchase at laconiko.com, at Laconiko's Manassas, VA showroom, and through select specialty retailers nationwide. Naturally high in polyphenols and oleocanthal, the oil offers robust flavor alongside antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Two products are featured: Laconiko Estate Olive Oil ($29.95/500 ml) with fresh green fruit aroma and a pleasant peppery finish, and Laconiko Olio Nuovo ($39.95/500 ml) with bold green fruit aroma and a persistent peppery finish, ideal for finishing dishes.
Laconiko also offers its indoor and outdoor spaces for venue rentals, suitable for private dining, corporate events, receptions, and micro-weddings. Public events are hosted as well; more information can be found at https://laconiko.com/collections/events.
