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

January 19, 2024January 19, 2024 by berlinoilconnectionNo Comments

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....

An escape to the mountain of Parnonas in autumn.

November 20, 2023November 22, 2023 by berlinoilconnectionNo Comments

Every year in autumn or winter I make a visit to the Southern Peloponnese. My aim is to look for new high quality products from the region. So this year we went to the mountain of Parnonas to spend three days in the mountain and combine it with this purpose. We found ourselves in Kosmas where the autumn landscape dominated every corner of the village. The central square of the village is a real gem. The large plane trees and the traditional architecture of the houses really give a unique character to the place. The food in the small taverns is also unique. Everything is local and the smells make you hungry all the time. Our first stop was at the village square in one of the central cafes. There we drank tsipouro and tasted the smoked trout that is brought from the opposite mountain, Taygetos, and specifically from the village of Kastori located at its foothills. We ate stew, mountain...

For the 2024 pre-order campaign of Berlin Oil Connection

November 20, 2023November 22, 2023 by berlinoilconnectionNo Comments

Dear Berlin Oil Connection friends. As you all know, the situation with olive oil production this year is particularly critical. In many regions of Europe, production has dramatically decreased. As a practical result, prices have exploded this year. However, this year's harvest for us has started normally and without any particular problems. The quality and characteristics of the extra virgin olive oil from our field are at a very good level again this year. However, the cost of bringing it to Berlin is very high. Inflation and climatic conditions, which are responsible for the decline in production, are the main enemy. That is why this year we will start our campaign earlier than planned. You can pre-order the amount of oil you need for next year, in this way you help us to bring it to Berlin. So we can keep a better price for all of you. For more info and orders you can always contact Berlin Oil Connection here: https://berlinoilconnection.de/en/contact/...

Kalamon olive oil: A beneficial oil for your health

December 7, 2020December 7, 2020 by berlinoilconnectionNo Comments

The Kalamon variety has the most Oleocanthal (very beneficial for health) of any variety in the world, when it is oiled, according to Prokopis Magiatis, professor of Pharmacy at the University of Athens, who spoke about the latest clinical and scientific data on the beneficial role of high phenolic olive oil in health, at the 4th Olive Oil & and table olives Festival that took place in Kalamata in 2018. This is one of the main conclusions of the Aristoil program so far, as he said referring to the oiling of the Kalamon variety, but also to the oil of Koroneiki and Athenolia, but emphasizing that 72% of the samples of Greek olive oils that have been examined, may have a claim to health. The highest content of "Oleocanthal" in fact - the main privilege of the Greek varieties as he said - is observed in the Region of Peloponnese. He insists that olive oil will find its place in pharmacies...

Video: Berlin Oil Connection tour in Laconia (Spring 2020)

March 9, 2020March 9, 2020 by berlinoilconnectionNo Comments

Welcome to paradise. This is the Andrianos farm where our olive oil comes from. Located in Southern Peloponnese, in an area called Laconia. Turn your sound on to hear the concert of birds. With Berlin Oil Connection, we import extra virgin olive oil from a farm in Southern Greece. The Andrianos farm is located in Laconia, around 60 kilometres from Sparta. Every year we bring pure olive oil from one harvest from this farm to Berlin. Because it comes from a single farm and from one of the best growing regions in the world, it has a very low acidity, which gives an intense taste but means it is not burning in the mouth as you maybe know from farmer's oil of other regions. Also this means high heat resistance, it is suitable for frying and can even be used several times. With the intense pure taste it is very suitable for making salads etc. This video shows you the two...

Olive oil new harvest pre-order now

January 27, 2020March 11, 2020 by berlinoilconnectionNo Comments

Dear supporters of Berlin Oil Connection The new harvest of olive oil is coming to Berlin soon. Extra virgin, Koroneiki, one harvest, from one farm in Southern Greece. We want to have a pre-order system for you. This will guarantee you a good price this year. As you know our little import connection Greece-Berlin is growing, this year we double the amount we bring. This has grown far beyond a network where we mostly sell to friends. We grow as a company and are also trying new things with farmer's markets and broader public sales beyond our initial network. This means we put in a lot more labor and costs and are asking higher prices. But we want to stick to a low price for those that support our development. This brings us to start a pre-order campaign. To have the oil for the special price of 15 Euros per Liter or 65 Euros per 5L canister, we please ask you to order...
