Petrina Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a premium extra virgin olive oil that reflects the authenticity and richness of Mediterranean olive-growing tradition. Produced from carefully selected olives and cold-extracted to preserve their natural freshness and aromas, it offers a harmonious sensory profile with balanced fruitiness, elegant bitterness, and refined spicy notes.
In 1907, the visionary teacher Stylianos Koutoupis (1874-1945) inspired the cooperative idea. This idea was implemented in 1915 with the registration in the official gazette of the establishment in Petrina of Laconia, the first olive-growing cooperative of Greece, the “Agricultural Cooperative of Petrina”.
The agricultural cooperative of Petrina was founded in 1915 in the village of the same name, on the eastern slopes of Mount Taygetus. However, the original idea for its establishment dates back to November 1907, when its founding members (58 in number) and its initial activities were mainly supply operations. In 1936, he founded the first hydraulic oil mill in Greece, consisting of a cleaning and washing plant for olives and an oil refinery.
In 1938, common pressing was established by pressing the olives immediately upon delivery to the olive mill, thus avoiding the fruit remaining for a long period before oiling, which led to the production of excellent-quality olive oil with very low acidity. The most important thing is that joint pressing, storing, and selling bring about admirable social cohesion.
