ANANIAS extra virgin olive oil – Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Kalamata, comes from olive groves located in the area of Kalamata, in the Southern Peloponnese. This area is well known for the quality of its olive oil in Greece and abroad.
The main olive variety in this area is Koroneiki, a native of the Messinian land, as its name also indicates, which means that it came from Koroni in Messinia. The factors that contribute to ensuring the high quality and positive organoleptic characteristics of the PDO Kalamata is the combination of the excellent climate of the area, the moderate intensity winds and the hilly terrain, as well as the special cultural care of the olive groves.
Ananias PDO Kalamata has a medium fruity, aroma of unripe olives, slightly bitter and medium spicy *.
In June 2021 it won a gold award at the New York International Olive Oil Competition NYOC, which is one of the most important and prestigious events in the olive oil industry.
Available in glass containers of 500ml and 1lt and 5lt tins.
* The characteristics “bitter” and “spicy” belong to the positive organoleptic characteristics of extra virgin olive oil, because they are an indication that the oil has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which are due to its phenol content.
