‘Let thy food be thy medicine and Medicine by thy food’
Hippocrates (400BC) ~ The Doctor of Medicine
Laconiko olive oil is made from organically-cultivated Koroneiki olive trees grown by two brothers, Diamantis & Dino Pierrakos, in their family farm in the Southern coastline of Lakonia, Greece, where the sandy soil, Greek sun, and Mediterranean sea breeze combine to create the profiles of their unique olive oils. Harvested early in the season in order to optimize quality not quantity, then cold-press for the ultimate flavor and health benefits. The Pierrakos family has been producing this olive oil for four generations, and they have been improving their craft for nearly a hundred years.
Their efforts have led to literally hundreds of awards, including Best Olive Oil Society in Greece, Best Flavored Olive Oil Producer in the World, Best Koroneiki Varietal in Greece, and more. Due to their success, they have been able to branch out into complimentary products such as balsamic vinegars, wine vinegars, soaps, and more.

Superior freshness, quality and health benefits
Koroneiki olives are renowned for their superior oil, which is why they are used in all their olive oils. The Laconiko Koroneiki olive trees harvested on the estate, bear even higher nutrition properties, including a high polyphenol count between 400–1010 mg/L yearly, due to their location and their extremely unique sandy soil composition.
Furthermore, the olives are hand-picked at the perfect time to maximize flavor and health benefits while minimizing bruising and always cold-pressed within four hours of harvest to ensure freshness. This enables Laconiko to produce extra-virgin olive oils with a consistent acidity level below 0.2% every year, as well as extremely low peroxide values, ensuring a much higher longevity in their olive oils.
Balsamic vinegar, and more

These balsamic vinegars are aged in traditional methods found only in Modena, Italy in oak barrels for an intense aroma and density, with extremely balanced flavor, that pair perfectly with the Laconiko extra virgin olive oils.
