Meet Our Olive Oil Producer Oleosophia From Corinth
OLEOSOPHIA is a young, woman led company founded when a city girl met a farm boy! George and Marianna met and fell in love, bringing two families and two different worlds together when Marianna was re-introduced to real, quality extra virgin olive oil through George. It was love at first sniff and OLEOSOPHIA was born to share that revelation and aha! moment!
Hailing from academic backgrounds (physics and software engineering), Marianna and George reshaped the production and vision and they now bring us award wining extra virgin olive oils of the two local varieties – Manaki and Megaritiki. But that was not all! They opened up their olive garden to welcome visitors, travellers with an interest in gastronomy and olive oil, thus hosting olive oil tastings, tours, cooking classes and outdoors sessions for academic groups, sharing their passion, love, ethos and Meraki for what they do and creating more Oleosophers and olive oil ambassadors!
"Oleosophia"
“Know thyself - Socrates”
You will often find them outdoors around their village of Kalentzi, in the Corinthian area of Peloponnese, under an olive tree, tasting oils or experimenting with food pairings! The OLEOSOPHIA family is growing and a new estate is coming up, hosting experiences all year round for the sophisticated and curious explorer!
Products:
The monovarietal Manaki Early Harvest EVOO is a unique olive oil, coming from green Manaki olives, non-irrigated and cultivated on the slopes of Mt. Fokas – where according to mythology, the Lion of Nemea was born (one of the Herculean Labors). It has a rich green fruitiness with aromas of fresh cut grass, green bell pepper, green apple and olives while its bitterness and pungency are of medium intensity. 
The field blend of our November Harvest EVOO is a co-cultivation of our two varieties, Manaki and Megaritiki, bringing in a sweeter aroma of tomatoes, herbs, thyme and soft grassy tones, with a lovely aftertaste and medium bitterness and pungency. This olive oil is made from olives that have just started turning colour, in the first 2 weeks of November, bringing you a touch of fall from our home.
All products are award wining consistently while George and Marianna are also featured in olive oil magazines for their work and commitment. OLEOSOPHIA is using regenerative farming as a compass for a sustainable cultivation, taking care of the soil and nature while improving practices with respect to tradition and heritage. Their tours and tastings are an immersion into that world – a world where you can connect with locals, olive oil culture, understand the complexity of olive oil making and make your olive family bonds in this picturesque Peloponnesian village.
A note from George & Marianna
"Every drop of olive oil we make, captures our commitment for high quality, regenerative farming, respect and love to nature and family. We embark on this journey to bring you the best and safeguard the art of olive oil making. We are honoured to have you enjoy our olive oil with your loved ones and you are welcome to visit your olive home here in Greece!
Sending you our olive love,
George & Marianna"
