Sakellaropoulos organic farms, in Sparta, Laconia, since 1992, have created the first Greek terroir with certified organic cultivation, vertical production and approved packaging according to Greek and international standards.
At Sakellaropoulos organic farms, olive production is treated as a quality practice with innovative methods, combining the best environmental practices for the conservation of natural resources. Always respecting the long tradition of the land and the ecosystem, thus contributing to a higher level of biodiversity.
From their first steps in 1992, Sakellaropoulos organic farms, with exclusively vertical self-production, innovative methods, combined with tradition but also with scientific knowledge, produce a very special olive product, the award-winning cold extracted organic olive oil, Armonia.
Armonia is an organic olive juice, a cold extracted monovarietal single estate (self-produced) organic olive oil, with many distinctions and awards in international competitions worldwide, with strong taste characteristics of high quality.
Its production methodology starts exclusively from our organic farms, which is why it is characterized by the international term single estate organic olive oil. There is absolute management of the semi-ripe and unripe olives during the handmade collection, with simultaneous quality sorting before the olive mill, which is done in a few hours from the optimal stage of olive harvest.
The monovarietal organic olive oil Armonia differs significantly from the classic olive oils, because it is produced, usually from mid-October to mid-November, with cold extraction of a few hours from the olive harvest, at 21-23 ° C and is therefore a cold extracted olive oil which requires at least twice the amount of semi-ripe and unripe olives for its production.
Characteristic of the superior certified organic olive oil Armonia is the very low acidity (many years less than 0.2%) which classifies it not only in the extra virgin organic olive oils but in the new category that is gradually created of extrissima, with corresponding chemical analysis indices.
It also has a high content of vitamins, predominantly vitamin E (a tocopherol), phytosterols and a very high level of polyphenols, mainly oleocanthal, which characterize it as a biofunctional phenolic olive oil with a health claim under the European Regulation (EU Health Claim 432/2012) which helps protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. It is awarded every year by the World Olive Center for Health for its high content of phenols that usually exceed up to 3 times the limits set by the EU regulation.
For its great health value, Armonia is part of the three-year study "Interventional Study of the Mediterranean Diet" conducted by Harvard University and the School of Public Health, in the diet of 1000 volunteer firefighters in 44 fire stations.
The purpose of the three-year study by the Harvard School of Public Health is to show that by changing eating habits, in a scientifically proven way, in groups of people at high risk of disease and especially heart attacks while performing their work, such as firefighters, decreases to extremely high rates.
