History[edit]
Vasilios Pierrakos, a third-generation olive oil farmer, continued his family's work of producing olive oil in the mid 1900s.[4] In the spring of 2009, his two sons,[5] Diamantis and Diante Pierrakos,[6] officially founded the company, Laconiko, which at the time was named “Our Family Olive Oil.”[7]
The Olive Oil[edit]
The brand only produces extra virgin olive oil,[8] which comes from their olive grove in Greece. The tasting notes include green olives, banana, and hints of almond. With an acidity of less than 0.8%, the olive oil is categorized as “extra-virgin," and has to be harvested when the olives are exactly ripe.[9] This also means that there is no refined oil, no chemical treatments, and no taste defects.[10] The brand has been recognized internationally for these attributes numerous times. In 2018, Laconiko's "Olio Nuevo" won Gold at the Athena International Olive Oil Competition in Delphi for "Best Koroneiki,"[11] and the same olive oil also won Gold at NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition in New York City. Their "Laconiko Kambos"[12] olive has been recognized at NYIOOC as well.[13] Laconiko's extra virgin olive oil has also been recognized in Canada[14] at the Canada International Olive Oil Competition[15] and in Asia at Olive Japan 2021.[16]
In addition to the regular extra virgin olive oil, Laconiko also produces over 22 types of flavored olive oil that are sold internationally.[17]
