Krokees Lakonias

Krokees Lakonias is an extra-virgin olive oil obtained from olives of the varieties Mirtolia and Anthinolia produced within the administrative boundaries of the municipal area of Krokees, in the Laconia prefecture, in the Peloponnese region.

The olives are gathered by hand or using small combs and nets. They are transported to the production plant in plastic baskets or bags where they are pressed in traditional or centrifuging oil mills. This olive oil can be obtained by mixing with other oils of the same kind and produced under the same conditions. The finished product has an intense yellow color and amazing flavor of ripe olives.

It is an essential ingredient in the Mediterranean diet and due to its rich aroma, it is advisable to use it fresh.
