Useful tips when you buy olive oil

Useful tips when you buy olive oil

What is adulterated olive oil and how widespread is its circulation in the super market? Often it is a mixture of 2 oils, extra virgin olive oil and usually sunflower oil. This type of adulteration can be classified as extra virgin olive oil by some brands in the olive oil market. It can be further degraded when mixed with various olive oils of dubious quality from different countries around Europe, Middle East or North Africa. In the worst case, it is a mixture of soybean and sunflower oil, to which chlorophyll and beta-carotene substances are added. You should be especially careful when checking the labels of these oils.

An escape to the mountain of Parnonas in autumn.

An escape to the mountain of Parnonas in autumn.

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

For the 2024 pre-order campaign of Berlin Oil Connection

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/...

Vanilla Fir Honey soon from Berlin Oil Connection

Vanilla Fir Honey soon from Berlin Oil Connection

A walk in the local market of agricultural products in Skala Laconia was something I had wanted to do for a long time. But something always came up and I postponed it for the next time I would visit this small town located in the heart of the plain of Laconia. For those who don't know, Skala, is one of the most important centers of agricultural production in Laconia. The main agricultural product exported is citrus fruits (mainly oranges). Farmers in Skala produce of course also excellent quality vegetables, such as tomatoes and other vegetables. Skala is a centre of economic life in Laconia. The local market is held every Tuesday in a central point of the town and there are permanent places for producers from Skala and the surrounding villages in the area. The excellent quality olive oil soap that you can buy in Berlin from Berlin Oil Connection is produced by our friend Zoe there. A sunny Tuesday last...

Mount Taigetos in Laconia. A view from our farm

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...
