Panagiotis Dimitrakopoulos
Worked in the land since 1986
My name is Panagiotis, i’m 57 years old,i have worked in the fields since 1986 when my father passed away. I planted the most of my olive trees with my bare hands back in the year 1986.
Some of those trees date from 1200 b.c.
Our extra virgin olive oil comes from our own trees,and it’s 100% biological agriculture.we farm two olive trees variations.the first one is the well known ‘koroneiki’ and the other one is ‘mavrolia’,which means black olive tree,because of the black olives.this kind of olive trees believed that there are not exist anywhere else in the world,only arround the village of Chora,and some of those trees date from 1200 b.c.Huge trees and unique.
The Microclimate of this certain area helps the olive trees to grow well
My olive fields are placed in an area between Palace of Neston in ancient Pylos and the Costa Navarino luxury hotel. The Microclimate of this certain area helps the olive trees to grow well and protects them of low temperatures during the winter. Some of my fields and the chosen one especially, are very difficult to crop, because of the landscape, as you’ll see in the photos!
