OUR TRADITIONS Constantine Gus Vlahos was born in Greece in 1861 and lived in Sparta. In the late 1800s he immigrated to America with his family and lived in the Houston, Texas area. Michael Cokinos purchased an olive orchard in the region his great-grandfather was raised so he could preserve his olive-growing traditions. Great care is taken to preserve the knowledge and passion for creating extra virgin olive oil that he would be proud to share. THE BEST OLIVES CREATE THE BEST OIL For thousands of years, olives have been a part of Mediterranean life in more ways than one. When olive oil first appeared around 2500 B.C. it was used for a variety of purposes, including non-culinary purposes. Olive oil’s versatility ranged from it’s use in rituals, as an ointment, and as a moisturizer. The Ancient Greeks believed the goddess Athena gifted Greece with the olive tree, and named their capital, Athens, after her because of it. Homer referred to olive oil as a “liquid gold.” DISTINCTIVELY COKINOS When the select few choose to indulge in the finest oil to come out of Laconia, they set themselves apart.
