Laconiko, the award-winning producer of single-origin, high phenolic extra virgin olive oils, has announced the arrival of its new harvest Koroneiki Estate Olive Oils, freshly pressed from the southern coastline of Lakonia, Greece. This release is significant because it demonstrates how meticulous cultivation and harvest timing can overcome challenging weather conditions to produce a superior product, reinforcing Laconiko's commitment to quality. The new harvest is now available for purchase at laconiko.com, at Laconiko's Manassas, VA showroom, and through select specialty retailers nationwide.
Green harvested olive fruit tells a story of the land, according to Diamantis Pierrakos, Producer and Co-Owner of Laconiko. Despite a challenging harvest year for much of Greece, the company refused to compromise on quality. The olives are picked at the exact right moment, crushed immediately, and subjected to rigorous quality control. This year's olive oil is produced from early-harvested green Koroneiki olives and first cold-pressed within hours of picking, resulting in a vibrant, fresh, and well-balanced oil. The oil features delicious green fruit notes and is well-balanced, making it a perfect complement for everyday cooking, dressings, marinades, and finishing.
This is the same olive oil that earned Laconiko recognition in 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.' Naturally high in polyphenols and oleocanthal, Laconiko olive oil delivers robust flavor alongside antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it as nutritious as it is delicious. The Laconiko Estate Olive Oil is priced at $29.95 for a 500 ml bottle, with tasting notes of fresh green fruit aroma, freshly cut grass, and ripe banana notes, finishing with a pleasant peppery note indicating high polyphenol concentration. The Laconiko Olio Nuovo, at $39.95 for a 500 ml bottle, offers bolder green fruit notes due to harvesting during the first week of the Koroneiki harvest, with fresh cut greens, green tomato, and arugula notes and a persistent peppery finish, ideal as a finishing oil.
In addition to product availability, Laconiko's indoor and outdoor spaces are now available to rent for private dining, corporate events, receptions, micro-weddings, or other celebrations. The company also hosts public events; more information can be found at https://laconiko.com/collections/events. Laconiko is a fourth-generation family business producing high-quality award-winning extra virgin olive oils, with a focus on maximizing health-promoting properties. Brothers Diamantis and Dino Pierrakos carry forward generations of tradition, passion, and craftsmanship, creating olive oils that honor their heritage while meeting the highest modern standards.
