The best way to prepare mountain tea

The best way to prepare mountain tea

Besides the extra virgin olive oil of my farm, several friends visit me at Schillermarkt in Schillerkiez at the district of Neukölln exclusively to get mountain tea (from Mount Parnonas), a sort of tea of exceptional quality and famous worldwide. Especially the tea from mount Parnonas has a very high reputation. People who often visit the mountain from all over Greece, it's the first thing they look to procure. There is even an old saying in Laconia that goes: “gather tea on the mountain of Parnon and oregano on Taygetus”. The older generations knew well that the mountain tea from Parnon is special. The same goes for me, of course. You see, I grew up with mountain tea. There are many times I remember my grandmother when I was a child, when every time I had a cold she would brew mountain tea from Parnon and serve it to me with local fir honey from the mountain and lemon she...

Preorder Campaign 2024 – 25 is  now open

Preorder Campaign 2024 – 25 is now open

Dear Friends of Berlin Oil Connection The harvest of the new year has just begun for us in our field in Southern Laconia. Soon the first olive oil will be produced, and we will know its characteristics. Everything seems to have started normally. Although in recent years the weather conditions have changed, for now, it does not seem to be happening in our field. As every year, this year we will bring to Berlin the high-quality extra virgin olive oil from our field for all of you. Our oil is produced separately at the mill, which is why we always know that its quality can be guaranteed for all of you. This year we expect that the 5-liter canisters will arrive in Berlin in early February 2025. We could perhaps bring the 5-liter canisters earlier, but the problem is that the olive oil needs some time in our barrels. The reason is that we do not filter the olive oil so...

Two beautiful photos of our bottles taken by the Flämingo farm friends in Brandenburg

As I already mentioned in previews posts, in these difficult times, networking among farmers is super important if we want to sustain high quality agriculture in Europe. Definitely it is not an easy task due the climate conditions and high costs. Few weeks ago, I got the following beautiful pictures from my friends of the Flämingo farm project in Brandenburg.  They got a bottle of the latest harvest as a present from a friend of theirs who visited my  stand at Herrfuthplaz market. With little post, I would like to thank them for all their support all the years of the existence of Berlin Oil Connection...

How to prepare the best greek salad? It is as simple as that

How to prepare the best greek salad? It is as simple as that

Several of my friends send me photos of the meals they prepare with our olive oil. It's something I absolutely love and I would like to thank them so much for it. Here we see the traditional, Greek salad. A healthy dish of the Mediterranean diet that should never be missing from our table. How do we prepare a Greek salad for two people? It is very simple: We need two tomatoes (preferably organic), one red onion, half a cucumber (medium size), organic oregano (preferably from the southern Peloponnese), Kalamata olives, a green paprika and optionally feta cheese on top. We chop everything and mix it all together with our extra virgin olive oil and optionally a splash of vinegar. Within a few minutes the Greek salad is on your table....
