Laconiko, an award-winning producer of single-origin, high phenolic extra virgin olive oils, has announced the availability of its new harvest Koroneiki Estate Olive Oils. The oils are freshly pressed from olives grown on the southern coastline of Lakonia, Greece, representing the culmination of a year of careful cultivation and precise harvest timing. This release comes despite challenging weather conditions that affected much of Greece's olive harvest this year.
Diamantis Pierrakos, Producer and Co-Owner of Laconiko, emphasized the company's commitment to quality regardless of external challenges. "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," Pierrakos stated. The olives are green-harvested and first cold-pressed within hours of picking, resulting in vibrant, fresh, and well-balanced olive oil.
This year's harvest features delicious green fruit notes that make it suitable for everyday cooking, dressings, marinades, and finishing. The same olive oil recently earned Laconiko significant recognition in the prestigious Athena International olive oil competition, where it received "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 https://laconiko.com, at Laconiko's Manassas, VA showroom, and through select specialty retailers nationwide. Two products are offered: Laconiko Estate Olive Oil priced at $29.95 for a 500ml bottle, and Laconiko Olio Nuovo priced at $39.95 for a 500ml bottle. Both oils are naturally high in polyphenols and oleocanthal, delivering robust flavor alongside antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Tasting notes for the Estate Olive Oil include fresh green fruit aroma with freshly cut grass and ripe banana notes, finishing with a pleasant peppery note that indicates high polyphenol concentration. The Olio Nuovo offers bolder green fruit aroma due to harvesting during the first week of the Koroneiki harvest, with fresh cut greens, green tomato with arugula notes and a persistent peppery finish.
Beyond product availability, Laconiko has expanded its offerings to include venue rentals for private dining, corporate events, receptions, micro-weddings, and other celebrations. The company's indoor and outdoor spaces provide versatile settings designed to adapt to various event visions, featuring gourmet dishes infused with the finest olive oils and vinegars. Laconiko also hosts public events, with more information available at https://laconiko.com/collections/events.
The availability of this new harvest represents significant implications for consumers seeking high-quality, health-promoting culinary products and for the specialty food industry that values authentic, award-winning offerings. As a fourth-generation family business, Laconiko continues to demonstrate how traditional craftsmanship combined with modern quality standards can produce exceptional products that stand out in competitive markets.
