A HARMONIOUS UNION OF VARIATIONS AND A MULTIDIMENSIONAL ENSEMBLE OF MESMERIZING LANDSCAPES
At the southernmost tip of continental Europe, the region of Laconia unfolds. A harmonious union of variations and a multidimensional ensemble of mesmerizing landscapes.
The fertile valley of Eurotas, the stone-built Mani, the inaccessible boulder of Monemvasia and the magnificent Taygetos, the serene Parnon, the beautiful beaches and traditional villages, the history of ancient Sparta and the prominent position since antiquity are sources of admiration.
The Petropoulakis family chose Rachi of Mani 325 years ago to produce, grow its roots, build its tower-houses, and cultivate its land.
Rachi is on the top of a hill three and a half kilometers before Gythio of Laconia, Taygetos lies on its west, Parnon to its north and on the east and south is the Laconian Gulf.
An ideal place for olive cultivation due to high sunshine, dry climate, mild climate conditions, ideal altitude, and peculiar terrain with sloping clay soils that ensure rapid drainage. A particularly favorable area for olive cultivation, thanks to its beneficial aura and the clear aquifers of Taygetos.
OUR OLIVE GROVES
Today, the family of Nikos Petropoulakis continues to cultivate in the traditional manner, and according to strict biological agriculture practices, 12 olive groves comprised of 630.000 s.m. of 11.625 ancient olive trees of the Koroneiki variety.
Koroneiki variety is one of the most prominent kinds of olive trees in the Peloponnese and specifically, Laconia. It's resistant to hunger, thirst, and the strong winds of the Laconian land, making it the closest variety to the wild olive.
International and Greek studies on the health-protective properties of olive oil have proven that Koroneiki olive oil has the largest content of anti-inflammatory substances, compared to other varieties. The Koroneiki olive oil produced in Laconia has a greater than average content of those substances.

THE BIOLOGICAL CULTIVATION
OF OUR OLIVES
The fertilization strategy on our biological olive groves targets the productivity improvement of the soil through a regimen that ensures long-lasting upgrades of texture, structure, and a simultaneous fertility increase.
This regimen is primarily based on the application of "green manuring" with faboideae, gramineae, or mixtures, the addition of organic material compost, as well as animal manure exclusively from our biological farming livestock.
PRUNING OUR
OLIVE TREES
Pruning an olive tree is a real art form. It shapes the branches, allowing air and sun to reach the crop. We prune every tree separately, depending on its particular needs. This is why every one of our trees has its own productive story to tell through its shape.
HANDLING
INFESTATIONS
We proactively take appropriate protective measures to prevent infestations on our olive trees. Oil tree infestation is the most serious problem for oil production in Greece and all Mediterranean countries. The damage to fruits is the reduction of the resulting oil's quality and as a result a higher acidity.
HARVESTING PROCESSES
OF OUR OLIVE FRUITS
The harvesting of our olives begins in early October and completes when the fruit is still unripe and green. The olive oil that results from unripe green olives contains hight quantities of aromatic ingredients and is rich in polyphenols. In contrast, as the olive fruit ripens, its color blackens and the quantity of aromatic ingredients is diminished along with the polyphenol content.
COLD PRESS EXTRACTION
OF OUR OLIVE OIL
We begin producing the olive oil mere hours after harvesting and always within the same day. With cold pressing in low temperatures under 23º C, using water sparingly, and a maximum pressing duration of 40 minutes.
NATURAL SEDIMENTATION OF
SUSPENDED PARTICLES
OF OUR OLIVE OIL
Our Biological Extra Virgin Olive Oil is stored in stainless steel containers and after 3 months of natural sedimentation, it's bottled unfiltered. In this manner, the high nutritional ingredients of the olive oil are preserved.
