Kalamata

(Καλαμάτα)

This olive oil is closely linked to the history, traditions and culture of the region of Messinia and the southwestern part of the Peloponnese where the oil is produced. Olive oil production is the main occupation of Messinia's inhabitants at the end of the year and a key factor in the regional economy.


This extra virgin olive oil is produced mainly from Koroneiki olives, with a maximum of 5% of Mastoeidis olives. The final product has an intense green to yellowish-green color and a pleasant taste. This oil is slightly bitter and has an aroma of green fruit and a mild pungency.
