Every bottle of Ahaeanland olive oil brings the history and tradition of the Achaean land to your table…
The pure, virgin olive oil produced by Ahaeanland from its privately owned olive groves combines two excellent olive varieties found in Greece.
The Manaki variety (or Manakos, Manaki of Argolida) is one of the most famous Greek olive varieties used mainly for olive oil production.
Koroneiki is the most widespread and “emblematic” olive variety in Greece. It is often called the “queen of the Greek olive” due to its great resistance and the excellent quality of the olive oil it produces.
