Their production method is innovative, starting exclusively from our organic farms, which is why they are characterized by the international term single estate.
There is absolute management during their handmade collection with specific sizes and, at the same time, with strict quality sorting before going through the process of many months of natural fermentation, within a few hours of harvesting these Lemonenies olives, with minimal addition of salt at all stages.
A very important difference is that their salt content is at very low levels, throughout the fermentation process and in their final packaging, at a rate of less than 50% of the average salt contained in the respective olives that are usually circulating in the market.
Their non-thermal processing (pasteurization) at any stage, from harvest to final packaging, has a significant effect on their content of beneficial micronutrients but also on their high taste quality.
The gourmet table olives Lemonenies by Sakellaropoulos organic farms are 100% natural and are not processed or artificially colored.

Consequently, the Lemonenies olives by Sakellaropoulos organic farms have a high nutritional value, as they have high levels of phenols, antioxidants, vitamins and beneficial micronutrients, which are preserved in the olives through the natural process of many months of fermentation.
In their final packaging we add a large amount of organic extra virgin olive oil of Sakellaropoulos organic farms, a specific amount of lemon juice and peel, along with oregano, savory, laurel and marjoram, completing the tasting palette of gourmet Lemonenies olives.
They are produced without chemical additives, without artificial preservatives and without pasteurization. We do not use chemicals or artificial substances during the debittering process, which destroy many of the beneficial components of the olive and the substances that promote the evolution of high aromatic and taste characteristics. 
Lemonenies are characterized as one of the types of olives with high beneficial health protective ingredients. These beneficial ingredients in table olives are phenols, with mainly hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and their derivatives, which are powerful micronutrients belonging to natural antioxidants.
