Laconiko, an award-winning producer of single-origin 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 announcement matters because it highlights how meticulous agricultural practices can overcome challenging growing conditions to produce exceptional, internationally recognized products that offer both culinary excellence and health benefits.
"Green harvested olive fruit tells a story of our land," said Diamantis Pierrakos, Producer and Co-Owner of Laconiko. "The weather conditions created a challenging harvest year for much of Greece, but we never compromise on quality. 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." This commitment to quality despite environmental challenges demonstrates the importance of sustainable, precision agriculture in maintaining food quality standards.
Produced from early-harvested green Koroneiki olives and first cold-pressed within hours of picking, this year's olive oil is described as vibrant, fresh, and well-balanced. Pierrakos noted that this year's harvest has delicious green fruit notes that make it suitable for everyday cooking, dressings, marinades, and finishing. The same olive oil recently earned Laconiko 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." This international recognition matters because it validates Greek olive oil production on the global stage and sets quality benchmarks for the industry.
The new harvest is available for purchase at https://laconiko.com, at Laconiko's Manassas, Virginia showroom, and through select specialty retailers nationwide. Two varieties are offered: Laconiko Estate Olive Oil at $29.95 per 500ml bottle, featuring fresh green fruit aroma with freshly cut grass and ripe banana notes, and Laconiko Olio Nuovo at $39.95 per 500ml bottle, characterized by bold green fruit aroma with fresh cut greens, green tomato with arugula notes. This availability matters because it makes premium, award-winning olive oil accessible to consumers through multiple channels, supporting both direct-to-consumer and retail distribution models.
Naturally high in polyphenols and oleocanthal, Laconiko olive oil delivers robust flavor alongside antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. The company also announced that its indoor and outdoor spaces are now available to rent for private dining, corporate events, receptions, micro-weddings, and other celebrations. Laconiko hosts public events as well, with more information available at https://laconiko.com/collections/events. This expansion into event hosting matters because it represents a diversification strategy for agricultural producers, creating additional revenue streams while promoting their products through experiential marketing. The combination of premium food production with hospitality services creates a comprehensive brand experience that enhances consumer engagement with artisanal food products.
