THE PELOPONNESE: EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, OLIVES AND HONEY FROM GREECE

Authentic products from the groves and hillsides of southern Greece

The Peloponnese is one of Greece's most celebrated olive-growing regions, shaped by ancient groves, sun-drenched hillsides and a coastline that has fed Greek cooking for thousands of years. Explore our Peloponnese collection for extra virgin olive oil, Kalamata olives and mountain honey, sourced directly from the producers who grow them and shipped from Greece to your door in the USA.

Peloponnese products to explore

The Peloponnese produces some of Greece's most recognisable agricultural exports. Here are the staples worth knowing:

1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil: The olive tree has grown in this region for thousands of years, favoured by the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea and drought-resistant soils. Most Peloponnese oil comes from the Koroneiki variety, prized for its low acidity and peppery finish. Cold-extracted and bottled close to harvest, it is the backbone of everyday Greek cooking.
2. Kalamata Olives: Grown from the same Koroneiki-region groves, Kalamata olives have an oval shape, deep brown-purple colour and a firm, meaty bite. They are cured the traditional way, in brine for at least three months, a slower process that preserves natural minerals like magnesium and potassium.
3. Greek Honey: Peloponnese honey comes from the wildflower, thyme and fir-forest apiaries of the region's mountains. Thyme honey in particular is prized for its amber colour and concentrated aroma, and is a traditional pairing for Greek yogurt, cheese and pastry.
4. Handmade Pasta: Peloponnese pasta is typically made from wheat semolina. Kritharaki manestra, a rice-shaped pasta, is the base for giouvetsi, while trahanas, a dried wheat-and-milk pasta, is a traditional winter staple across the region.
5. Citrus Fruits: The groves of Laconia, Arta and Achaia grow oranges, lemons and bergamot, giving many Peloponnese products, from marmalades to spoon sweets, their characteristic citrus note.
