The OEL brand stands for 100% pure Greek organic extra virgin olive oil: The olives of the Koroneiki variety are grown organically near Kalamata in the Messinia region of the Peloponnese peninsula. The harvest is done by hand. We actively participate in harvesting and production every year because we want to be able to control and control the entire production chain ourselves.
The taste of the small green Koroneiki olive is legendary and its composition is unsurpassed. There is a reason why Koroneiki oil is the most popular olive oil in Greece.
But the geography and climate of the Messinia region also play a decisive role in the taste of OEL olive oil. The mountainous, extremely dry, stony region, which is very hot in summer, demands a lot of robustness and composure from the trees and the farmers. The result is an olive oil with flavors of citrus fruits and nuts.
