Preveza

This extra virgin olive oil is produced from olives of the variety Lianolia Kerkiras cultivated in the municipalities of Kamarina, Kriopigi, Riza, Ligia-Vrakho, Khimadi, Mikhalitsi, Nikopoli, Flamboura, Oropo, Louro, Mitikas, Loutsa, Mirsini, Sinopi, Sambsoundas, Kanalio, Kastrosikia, Arkhangelos, and Megadendro in the prefecture of Preveza.

Since Lianolia trees grow exceptionally tall, it is very difficult to harvest these olives early. Farmers usually wait until the olives are ripe and fall off the tree onto nets laid on the ground, or gather them using small rakes to avoid bruising the fruit.

The olives are transferred to the production facility, where the best are selected and cleaned prior to pressing in classic or centrifugal mills. This oil is used mostly locally, both for cooking and salad dressings.
