February 9, 2025February 9, 2025 by berlinoilconnectionNo Comments

Dear friends and followers I want to inform you that the pallet is already ready and has basically started its journey to Berlin - Neukolln. I believe it will arrive by the end of next week or at the beginning of the week after. Those of you who have already prepaid for a quantity will receive a message from me as soon as possible. Since my storage space is not very large, I would prefer to distribute the canisters as soon as possible. For those who have not yet placed an order for the 5-liter canisters, there are still a few left. You might still be able to get a small quantity. Please drop me a line here In any case, if you have any questions, you can send me an email or stop by the Saturday market in Schillerkiez. I’d be happy to see you either way—maybe even over a coffee!...

An old mill in Geraki, Laconia.

This is a photo that brings back memories of another era. In fact, it brings it back to life. It depicts a windmill in Geraki, Laconia (a few klm from our farm), where the locals used to take their wheat on horses and donkeys to have it milled into flour. This mill is one of those that exist around the village as well as in the wider area. Some people older than me still remember that time. Behind the windmill, you can see the snow-covered Mount Parnon. You will soon be able to find more short stories from Laconia on my blog: https://berlinoilconnection.de/en/blog/category/blog/. special thanks to @christinemorenin (instagram) for this picture...

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...

If you are interested to pre-order, please let us know by sending us an email [wpforms id="62"]...

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...
