Every year, during these November days, something like an informal opening ceremony of the new olive harvest takes place in Laconia. As soon as the first olive oil comes out of the mill, in the evening —after a tiring day’s work in the olive grove— when we return home, we open a little wine, usually of the Kydonitsa variety, an excellent grape cultivated in the region of Monemvasia. Alongside it, we put olives, the fresh olive oil, and bread on the table, just as you see in the photo. It is the ideal way to unwind and, at the same time, a confirmation that the year’s hard work has paid off.
This small ritual is not merely a gastronomic pleasure; it is a way of measuring time again through the cycle of the earth and our labour. The aroma of the fresh oil, its sharpness, the warm bread absorbing it like a sponge — all of this creates a moment that...
Dear friends of the Berlin Oil Connection,
I hope you and your families and friends are all doing well. As every year, I’m reaching out once again to ask for your support so that the new harvest’s olive oil can make its way to Berlin through the pre-order campaign. As you already know, this is a demanding and costly process. The moment —although a bit delayed— has now come again this year.
The reason I waited before opening the campaign was that I first wanted to make sure everything had gone well. Nature, as you know, always has surprises, and one can never be certain in advance. As you can see in the photo, the first litres are already in my storage, and despite the difficulties of this year’s harvest, we were once again lucky. The olive oil is of excellent quality —as it is every year. In Laconia, my family and our friends already have it on their tables; and since...
Dear Friends of Berlin Oil Connection

Thank you all for your support.

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....
Dear Friends of Berlin Oil Connection
I wish you and your family a very happy new year with loads of happiness and good moments. May this year bring us peace and prosperity.
At the moment I am in Greece, enjoying the winter days and the bright light...
