The olive oil “ΤΡΑΓΟΣ” [pron. „TRAG(h)OS“] is made from olives of the “Manaki”-variety from groves located in the area of Ancient Corinth. Through early harvesting (mid/end October) and immediate pressing, we achieve the production of a strongly aromatic and fruity oil.

Manaki has “deep roots” in the region of Corinth and its cultivation is widespread there; hence this variety is also popularly known as the “Corinthian”.

Τhe olives for “ΤΡΑΓΟΣ” come from “arid”, i.e. not irrigated, groves of “old (sparse) planting”, so trees need not compete for moisture and nutrients. Even so, only a fragment of the trees manages to bear fruit each year and this is what makes this oil so precious. The for the oil “ΤΡΑΓΟΣ” have been made available to the project by people involved in it, their friends and families. They are cultivated by Elton Berdufi with maximum respect for the trees and their environment.
