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 represents the culmination of a year of careful cultivation, precise harvest timing, and uncompromising attention to detail. The company emphasizes that the weather conditions created a challenging harvest year for much of Greece, but they maintained their quality standards by picking at the exact right moment, crushing immediately, and obsessing over quality.
According to Diamantis Pierrakos, Producer and Co-Owner of Laconiko, 'Green harvested olive fruit tells a story of our land.' The new harvest 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. Pierrakos noted that this year's harvest has delicious green fruit notes and is well-balanced, making it a perfect complement for everyday cooking, dressings, marinades, and finishing. This is also the olive oil for which Laconiko was recognized in the prestigious Athena International olive oil competition, receiving 'The Best of Show Award' for producing the 'Best Olive Oil from Greece' and 'Best Koroneiki Internationally.'
The new harvest is now 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. The Laconiko Estate Olive Oil is priced at $29.95 per 500 ml bottle, with tasting notes describing a 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 per 500 ml bottle, offers a bold green fruit aroma from olives harvested 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.
Laconiko also announced that its indoor and outdoor spaces are now available to rent for private dining, corporate events, receptions, micro-weddings, and other celebrations. The venue offers a versatile setting with gourmet dishes infused with the finest olive oils and vinegars.
