2025 Harvest Is Now Available
This Small-Batch Artisanal Extra Virgin Olive Oil is of impeccable quality, purity, and traceable provenance. The olives from which the oil was produced were sourced solely from a small grove of mature Koroneiki variety olive trees that are located on a hillside adjacent to Vasilitsi, Greece. This oil was extracted solely by traditional mechanical means in the village co-op. The result is an ultra-pure liquid that has been validated as Extra Virgin Olive Oil with very low acidity and will maintain its current optimal chemical and flavor profile through the period indicated on the label.
Limited production, single batch, unblended Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Best for drizzling, dipping, or sipping.
Flavor profile is slightly bitter with a peppery bite which indicates freshness and high levels of antioxidants.
Origins
The Koroneiki olive cultivar is named after the small harbor town of Koroni in the Messinia region of the southwestern Peloponnese, Greece. Cultivated for over 3,000 years, this variety is recognized as a cornerstone of Greek agriculture and healthy local diets.
The grove that produces Hellenic Village oil is located in the farming village of Vasilitsi, Greece, which lies 6km southwest of Koroni and 59km southwest of the regional capital, Kalamata.
Vasilitsi falls in a narrow geographical zone, that in 2010, UNESCO declared as one of four areas on earth representative of the Mediterranean Diet – an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
The land has been owned by the same family since the late 18th century and the fruit from these old-growth trees has supported their health for generations.
