The olive grove
In the heart of the Valley of Olympia, the cradle of Olympism, stand traditional olive groves, witnesses of an inestimable cultural and natural heritage. These centuries-old trees, nourished by the waters of the Alpheios and Kladeos rivers, flourish in an ideal Mediterranean climate, offering olives of exceptional quality. The agricultural practices, passed down from generation to generation, respect the authenticity and purity of this natural treasure. Local varieties such as "Koroneiki" and "Kolireiki" or "Olympia" (Nemoutiana), recently rediscovered and saved, are carefully cultivated to produce an extra virgin olive oil with an incomparable taste. Each olive is hand-picked in order to preserve the integrity of the tree, and embody the commitment to excellence and sustainable development.
Could it be that olive oil from Olympia is one of the best examples of our universal heritage?
