"Benion" | The Extra Virgin Laconian Olive Oil

Our Laconian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The extra virgin olive oil “Benios” comes from the mix of the excellent local olive varieties Athinoelia and Koroneiki, which give it a rich spicy flavor, a very fruity aroma and a very high polyphenol content.

Natural cosmetics

The Monemvasia Cosmetics line of cosmetics was created with inspiration from the pure products of the Laconian land such as Greek olive oil and herbs, and aims to highlight the high cosmetic properties of Greek herbs and the aromas of Greek plants.

Hydromeli | Melitokraso. The ancestor of all fermented drinks

Hydromeli

We suggest you try Hydromeli (or Melitokraso)! It is considered the ancestor of all fermented drinks and its roots are lost in the depths of time. The production process involves the marriage of only honey and water. Its name, according to tradition, was given by the honeymoon, where, as it is said, the newlyweds consumed it throughout, for a future “sweet” marriage. According to mythology the famous nectar of the Gods was Mead.
