Mount Taigetos in Laconia. A view from our farm

March 26, 2023 by berlinoilconnectionNo Comments

Taygetos is the highest and most magnificent mountain of the Peloponnese. It has an altitude of over 2,100 metres. The photo you see in this article was taken from our field in mid-January, after a beautiful snowfall. How lucky we are to pick olives and have this view and how much we love this mountain. Every year visitors from every corner of Europe visit the mountain. Apart from the beautiful waterfalls, the beautiful villages and forests, most visitors go to the top of the mountain, the famous pyramid where you can see all the way to Laconia, and deep in the sea you can see Crete. I recommend you to visit this beautiful mountain. Read more here...

Black olives? Green olives? Purple olives? A personal highlight from our spring trip to the farm was tasting the actual olives. This is where the magic comes from. In case you wonder why they are not black like those you know from the supermarket, black olives are a Californian marketing invention, they are processed to turn black with an alkaline solution and ferrous gluconate. The pure thing looks like these from out farm in Southern Peloponnese....

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

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...
