Finiki Lakonias
|
(Olive Oil / Φοινίκι Λακωνίας, Finiki olive oil / Finiki, Greece)
This high quality extra virgin olive oil is obtained from Koroneiki (70%), Tsounati (25%), and Asprolia (5%) olives cultivated in the Finiki area of Lakonia prefecture. This oil owes its unique organoleptic properties to the special microclimate of the area and its chalky soils. Its aroma is described as reminiscent of fresh cut grass and its taste is quite fruity and peppery. The olives are handpicked or gathered using rakes when the olives are ripe and yellowy green to violet in color. They are immediately transferred to olive mills where the oil is extracted through a mechanical cold pressing method. The final product is a greenish-yellow olive oil with some golden tones that can be consumed raw, used as a dressing for various Greek salads, or used for cooking. |
