Our Oils Roots…
LECHAINA, GREECE
Lechaina is in the West Peloponnese, by the more widely known Grecian cities of Ancient Olympia and Kalamata. The unique aspect about our olive grove is that it lies close to the Ionian Sea, yet at a certain height above sea level, that provides a unique microclimate for premium quality extra virgin olive oil.
Fancy Peasant’s EVOO is made from 100% Koroneiki olives (no blends, no fillers). This famous Greek varietal, known as the “queen of olives”, is named after the close region Koroni. The olive oil from this specific area is known for its high quality, unparalleled flavor, beautiful green color, and strong aroma.
Our amazing team uses organic farming methods, harvesting early in the season when the olives are young and green. All olives are hand-picked with care to ensure each olive used is in its ideal life cycle, and always extracted same day.
The result is early harvest, 100% extra virgin olive oil, bursting with antioxidants that will fuel your food and soul.
Our Family’s Roots…
VAVOURI, GREECE
The birthplace of my father and the origin of our family recipes. I’d love to share a bit of my family’s region with you.
Epirus is a region located in the northwestern corner of Greece bordered on the East by the Pindus range and the West by the Ionian Sea. Mountains rise out of verdant valleys like brooding whales in a green sea, truly. It is riddled with pristine rivers and streams, the cleanest in Europe, and picturesque mountain villages offering breathtaking views of the region’s majestic beauty. While the land is harsh and unyielding, it is abundant in nutrients that give the products it produces clean, sharp flavors that enrich the traditional cuisine for which Epirus is known.
