Peloponnisiako Extra Partheno Elaiolado (5lt)Peloponnesian Extra Virgin Olive Oil - "esti"

Extra Virgin Olive Oil “esti”… Greek Tradition

Olive growing in Greece, started mostly on small family estates, where a particular relationship is built between the olive growers & the olive trees, with respect & care as predominant features. It is a loving relationship that bears precious fruits. Thus begins the history of the company, established in 1912, in Kalamata, a town in the Peloponnese region in southern Greece, where the highest quality of olive oil has been produced since ancient times. The fine olive oil Plemmenos family produced under Primo & Alfa brands became world famous. In 1975 the company introduced innovative marketing with direct sales & house delivery so soon it became one of the most popular olive oil brands in Greece. In 2006, the company heavily invested in modernization & moved into new facilities, with state-of-the-art machinery, that allowed the traceability & security management to fully meet HACCP standards. The new brand “esti” was successfully introduced in 2010.

“Peloponnisiako Extra Partheno Elaiolado” is an Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Koroneiki variety of olives which grow in the abundant olive cultivar of Mani, a region of Messinia, at the foot of Mt. Taygetos. Olives are handpicked from November until Christmas & their juice is extracted, just a few hours after harvest. This olive oil’s very low acidity & rich content of polyphenols make it a superior quality, exquisite extra virgin olive oil. It has a deep, bright green colour & a fruity, bittersweet taste which coexists with a soft essence of fruits, with a predominant apple taste.
