Laconiko, the award-winning producer of single-origin, high phenolic extra virgin olive oils, proudly announces the arrival of its new harvest Koroneiki Estate Olive Oils, freshly pressed from the southern coastline of Lakonia, Greece. This highly anticipated release marks the culmination of a year of careful cultivation, precise harvest timing, and uncompromising attention to detail.
“Green harvested olive fruit tells a story of our land,” shares Diamantis Pierrakos, Producer and Co-Owner of Laconiko. “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 olive oil is vibrant, fresh, and well-balanced. Pierrakos notes, “This year's harvest has delicious green fruit notes and is well-balanced which is a perfect complement for everyday cooking, dressings, marinades, and finishing. These are truly the best every day and finishing olive oils. This is also the olive oil Laconiko was recognized for in the prestigious Athena International olive oil competition, 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, Laconiko olive oil delivers robust flavor alongside antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it as nutritious as it is delicious.
Laconiko offers two expressions: the Estate Olive Oil ($29.95/500 ml) with fresh green fruit aroma, freshly cut grass and ripe banana notes, and a pleasant peppery finish, and the Olio Nuovo ($39.95/500 ml) with bold green fruit aroma, fresh cut greens, green tomato with arugula notes, and a persistent peppery finish. The latter is harvested during the first week of the Koroneiki harvest, making it an excellent finishing oil.
In addition to the new harvest, Laconiko's indoor and outdoor spaces are now available for private dining, corporate events, receptions, micro-weddings, and other celebrations. The company also hosts public events; more information is available at https://laconiko.com/collections/events.
