Nikolopoulos Estate | Greece

Nikolopoulos Estate - presentation

The Nikolopoulos Property is found 30 km of westwards of Kalamata, in the prefecture Messinia in southern Greece and is made up of 100 acres with 2.000 olive trees.

Next to the eon-old trees young new trees abound. The sweet climate of the region, at an ideal altitude of 400m and the calcareous soil are particularly favourable for the culture of the olive.

Exclusive biological fertilizers are used and by no means any pesticides or chemicals.

The harvest takes place in December - January, and the olives are picked by hand, as has been done for thousands of years.

The oil is pressed in an ecologically certified olive press, at low temperatures and is not filtered. To the contrary, it is left in natural distillation for 2 months before it is bottled carefully.

The unique variety that is cultivated is the traditional Koroneiki and the edible part is the famous "Kalamata Olive".

The Koroneiki variety has been recognized as the highest quality olive internationally and is found only in Greece. Other varieties are able to produce above the 10 lt per tree. The Koroneiki variety does not exceed the 3-4 lt per olive tree. We insist however in its culture, because we invest only in quality.

The extra virgin olive oil of Property Nikolopoulos is an oil with very low acidity (up to 0,3), with a fruity flavour and a light fragrance and aroma that accompanies not only the traditional Mediterranean diet, but also other palates as well.

Our olive oil is sold in glass bottles of 500ml and 750ml, 500ml and 750 ml and is also available in 5 litre tins.

Our edible olive is the famous olive of Kalamata!

Its harvest also takes place by hand, in November and December. Afterwards, a traditional recipe is followed, where the olives are placed in brine, biological olive oil and special biological vinegar, made from red wine. In 5 months they are ready to be packed carefully in glass vases of 450ml and 750ml. Larger tins of olives are also available. They are distinguished by their oblong form, their bright colour and naturally by their exceptional flavour!

The exceptional virgin olive oil of the Koroneiki variety and the table olives of the Nikolopoulos Property are an inexhaustible source of health and well-being, for both nutrition and longevity.
