The Lakonia-based company produced about 1,000 liters of organic extra virgin olive oil in the 2019/20 season, using traditional methods.

"This award means a lot," marketing manager Silvia Lazzari said. "It will certainly have a positive impact on our sales and also serve as an energy booster for all our efforts to maintain high levels of quality together with fair relationships with the producers and our staff."

Lazzari said that the 2019 harvest was pretty good and served as a much-needed reprieve after the far tougher harvest of the previous year.

"Overall, the 2018/19 harvest was of bad quality and scarce quantity in Greece," she said. "We solved this problem thanks to the fact that we cooperate with a large number of olive farmers from all over Greece."

"Luckily, the 2019/20 harvest is of excellent quality and quantity," she added.

The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, held each spring in New York, is the world's largest and most prestigious olive oil contest and its annual listing of award winners is considered the authoritative guide to the year’s best extra virgin olive oils.
