- The Messinia region in the Peloponnese, Greece, produces what is considered the finest olive oil in the world. It’s made from the Koroneiki olive, a small but rich and aromatic olive. Together with a cold extraction and a slow fermentation process, Koroneiki olive oil tastes like no other - a true nectar of the gods. We follow olive-oil taster Dimitra Mathiopoulou at her family’s olive groves and mill to find out how Koroneiki olive oil is harvested and extracted.

Its not creepy to tell someone you enjoy their work you dont have to stop them you can just tell them in passing but its nice you prioritized courtesy and consider others feelings

i love the fact that olive trees are still so important in greece
Why do you say this? I'm not trying to be condescending, not at all. But how could they be not important? Why does this surprises you? I have 275 trees and while I loose money on them rather than making, I cannot imaging myself without them.
@@kimon114 excuse me sir, how are you losing money on your trees? 275 trees is quite a lot no?
@@murn3229 no they are not. You need at least 2000 to make a living.
@@kimon114 I call bs on that
@@ZPUTSAM yup...people here in Greece can make a living and maybe above average with at least 300-500 trees if they treat them with care and understand their nutritional needs. Based on the variety that I'm growing an olive tree will yield a good harvest every 2 years because they need to "relax" for 1 year but I'm not sure if that's for every variety
I love the lady's passion and how she embraced and adopted the Olive pressing tradition of her husband's family
And Charisma
Yeah. If you make a good living, you develop that passion one way or another.
That's called wealth
she seemed kinda bitchy to claudia
@@nourae.9616 She sounds like a total salesman.
The thing I like about Greek olive harvesting culture is the engagement of newer generations. The fact is that many families in Greece, regardless of their permanent residence, they own, somewhere, a piece of land with olive trees. Regardless of their job, age or strength, in November-December they are going to schedule some days in order to harverst their trees and get their oil for the year. And this keeps getting passed on, along with the land, to newer generations.
Well, thats not really true that everyone regardless of what has an olive grove or land, but its actually pretty close, they have family member with olive tree land or friends, and they buy olive oil from people they trust who make it themselves
Great video, I like how they outline that the olive is not just business here. There are tons of families like mine with small groves 100-200 trees strong. Harvest season is like a mini immigration, people will swarm the country for a week or two to make the year's oil for the family.
How many liters/kilos of oil can one expect to extract from a 100 trees?
@@tpop3723 Many factors. We have 150 trees, and all are very young (oldest 50 ones are 15 years old). We also don't groom them professionally to produce consistently. On a good year, our 100 most productive roots will give about 7 oil bins, 17 litres each, so roughly 120 litres. Worth to mention here that olives are biennial, meaning they alternate between one productive year and a poor year.
Thanks for the feedback much appreciated!

@@JohnYannoulas My relatives live in Lamia and they have 2 olive groves...They are starting out this year because 2 people of their family died and they had to go back on all the work..I can say that the oil that we used to get was delicious and 100% genuine....not like the one that is sold in super markets....if I didnt know better I would have thought that it could even be tampered with....at least we know the difference !!!!!!!!!!!!!
My family is extremely fortunate here in Australia where we get annual allocations of large tins of this exact olive oil from my late grandfathers farm one hour drive from Kalamata, near Methoni. It is liquid gold and a source of extremely familial pride and a loving memory of my grandparents. No other oil comes even close to its flavour…. Yes I’m biased … ❤️

I want to see a 1000 year olive tree, must be amazing. Mind blowing just thinking about that age when it was planted and all the things that have happened in it's lifetime.
There are many of them and most looks a little creepy.
Olive trees are eternal, people are fleeting...
One of the oldest in Greece is a named tree called Peisistratos' Olive, estimated to be 2.500 yrs old. It's so big a lot of people pass by it not realizing it's an olive.
If trees could talk
I have seen olive trees in Puglia, south east of Italy said to have been planted by greek colonists, way before the Romans, it was more like a circle of small trees where the inside had disappeared over the centuries.
Claudia: "Can we taste it?"
Olive Lady: "No? They're very bitter."
Claudia: * tastes anyway *
XD
There was some kind of tension or awkwardness between them.
@@MrKh4Ot1k I total saw that to. I thought I was going crazy
A friend's father told me a story of how, when he was a boy, his family was staying in a country house with an olive tree right outside his bedroom window. He tried eating the olives right off the tree and they made him sick. He's ninety-six now and he still can't stand the taste of olives. I did the math and this must have been in 1937 or '38 in those magical summers just before the start of World War 2.
Sigma grindset
She really didn't expect a no, she asked with the olive already in her mouth
"Can we taste it?"
"No, it's very bitter-"
"How bout I do, *ANYWAY?"*
Olive trees over a thousand years old, simply amazing. I enjoyed the passion of the lady being interviewed.
That scene made me lol. She asked then put it in her mouth in the next second
Then her face after was great....like.."bet you won't do that shit again"
She was thrown off when she said "that's the olive oil" which is kind of untrue as olive oil needs to be extracted first, which removes the very bitter compounds that are in the olives. She said it's good but trust me, it's very bitter.
Yeah dmitra is quite a beauty. She has nice fair skin.
Love their Greek accent. I used to work with Greek women at a former job. They were so nice.
It always makes me happy to see that there are people who keep our ancient agrarian practices alive. Just being able to participate in them is hugely therapeutic.
I am half from the northern part of Peloponnese and I still recall my grandfather who used to work in the orchards and produce his own olive oil. I don't know if that olive oil is better than my grandfather's which I am grateful for still consuming yet there's nothing like fresh extracted olive oil. The aroma and the taste are just heavenly. Thank you grandfather, may you rest in peace.

I'd love to try freshly extracted olive oil too. Must be so delicious pouring onto warm bread and fresh mozzarella.
It's actually quite unpleasant. It's needs time to mellow enough to be palatable. If your preference is for extremely pungent and peppery oil, it might have some value but for the vast majority of consumers it's not a great experience.
@@raskov75 If an olive oil has that level of quality, you can just pour a little bit in a piece of bread with a little bit of salt and eat it as it is.
@@TheofilosMouratidis I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the oil in the video? The one that made her cough? She didn't seem to enjoy that as do many of my customers that eat high polyphenol oils for the first time. Freshness matters but right out of the olive, a good oil will be unpalatable. I have access to on avg 8 different oils twice a year; the northern hemisphere in the fall/winter and southern hemisphere in late spring/ summer. While there is a market for very intense early harvest oils, the vast majority of people who do what you say end up coughing and asking for water. That's why I miss the Greek oils from 10+ yrs ago. They were always buttery and smooth, perfect for bread dipping. But since the market has obsessed about polyphenols, these Greek oils have been harvested earlier and earlier making them much less distinctive from their Italian and Spanish cousins. Sad. On the positive side, there has been a lot research showing the these peppery oils do better at 'high heat' cooking than previously thought.
@@raskov75 I agree that fresh olive oil is an acquired taste. The early harvest of Greek olives has other reasons such as the labor shortage because people prefer to work in the tourism industry and there are a lot less immigrant workers than the past, so the ones who work the fields have to start collecting olives earlier in order to finish before all the olives fall on the ground. Another reason is the price a producer can sell olive oil is connected with it's acidity, not it's aroma or taste, and if the olive stays long on the tree it gains acidity so the price per litre falls considerably: for example, this year a litre of extra virgin olive oil can be sold around 3,20€ per litre while high acidity oil can be sold for as little as 0,50€
@@geokon3 finally someone talked about the work shortages it's CRAZY the summer that past there where farmers looking for GREEKS to go Ti the olives.....if you are not greek trust me NO GREEK PERSON works at the olives it's always Albanians who come for the olives and then leave or pakistani people but 0 greeks lol and in 2021 summer there where Greeks working good money at the trees
so proud of the Greeks producing the highest olive oil grades in the world. BRAVO
Claudia is literally the best presenter. Love her one on the pesto. That was amazing. These are so educational packed into such a short video.
Dude Claudia always gets to do the coolest stuff. They must really like her at insider
Claudia is always a good presenter but you can tell when she’s really in love with a product. (See also: baguettes)
I think this is also a downside because in too many videos she just doesn't seem bothered at all.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948
My mother's family had an olive grove in Greece (near Sparta) and for decades we got a big can of olives, in the oil, every year fresh from Greece. I never realized how lucky we were.
Hello from Greece! 🙋🏻♀️

This olive oil from Greece is surprisingly mildly spicy. Its purity and flavours are just unparalleled if you compare against mass-produced olive oil of Puglia.
Spicy olive oil is full of antioxidants
Try Palestinian one
Italy is the biggest buyer of Greek olive oil (and other Mediterranean countries) they mix it within italian oil and bottle it in Italy. If its 20% (or 30%) and bottled in Italy its regarded as Italian olive oil...
@@RealOrbit-Australia that's so true... i remember an old video where some1 related to olive oil trading said that olive oil from Italy can be up to 40% imported from Greece...but of course since they can sell it in higher price bcs of better marketing they benefit from buying low from Greece,because Greeks lack on promoting their product.
@@dimarg00 not really Greek olive oil is more expensive but alot less. Italy buys from everywhere, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Turkey, Tunisia etc they are definitely the biggest producers and exporters though

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome.

You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

The idea of harvesting Olives from trees that are up to 1000 years old must give the orchard workers the most incredible sense of connection and perspective of time & place.
To know that your ancestors were almost certainly here harvesting for Millenia, on some of the same trees even. That's incredible.

@@leandroulpio7473 it has changed. Greece has gotten better bottling their own olive oil. And they don’t buy Portuguese olive oil because it’s not too quality like Spanish Italian and Greek.

What are the health benefits of olive oil? Olive oil is a major component of the Mediterranean diet. It is rich in antioxidants. The main fat it contains is monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), which experts consider a healthful fat. The antioxidants in olive oil my help protect the body from cellular damage that can lead to a range of health conditions and diseases. Extra virgin olive oil has a bitter flavor, but it contains more antioxidants than other types, as it undergoes the least processing. Cheers, Domenico.
True virgin olive oil consider to be the Real deal when you talk about super foods, it's the most blessed tree in the world.
You do such good videos Claudia. Thank you.
What a coincidence that I have Kosterina olive oil that uses Koroneiki olives. What a nice surprise!
I feel so lucky when I remember I was born in a Mediterranean country and we have access to the best nutrient ever, olive oil.
Now when you are talking Greek foods, I give 2 ❤❤ because I love the lemon soup, chicken souvlaki. The lamb shank looks delicious, but I can't seem to abandon a good chicken souvlaki for all that other great foods on a Greek restaurant menu. In Astoria, Queens, NY where many Greeks settled in NYC they have a nice culture.
There are souvlaki's on a specific street cart and people line up around the corner for this guy. They'll block the bank around the corner. His souvlakis are unbelievable. Better than the restaurant around the corner. He dominates and he really doesn't move around. Everyone comes to him. He's old a probably rich by now. Very nice people the Greeks.
That olive oil looks perfect.
I should go to Greece to see the ancient structures.
Grape Leaves! I forgot about grape leaves, they are such delectable appetizer. The Greeks like their onions, so make sure your partner eats the same level of onions or you won't get a kiss for a day of two. 🤣
This new for me, thank for ur video.

Claudia is such a good host/presenter. There is something very genuine about how she interacts with the makers especially when she tries the end product. No pretense, just curiosity and what comes across as truly being in the moment. I didn't realize I was tired of the overly enthusiastic pathologically upbeat male presenter until now. Thank you.
I love the fact that you mentioned the dirt is washed off so that it doesn't give the oil an earthy taste, and not so that it's not contaminated. Two birds with one stone here for sure. ❤️

Omg. I absolutely love a good grassy, peppery, slightly astringent olive oil. It makes your tongue dry slightly, like putting loose leaf black tea on your tongue. Or licking the skin of an almond. Such a distinct feeling.

I tried some, very expensive olive oil from amazon and was very disappointed. So now I have ordered some from the website mentioned here. Messinia olive oil. I am very excited, I so hope it is awesome.
Koroneiki variety = best in the world. My family has also olive trees in Hleia region and I feel blessed to consume this olive oil. It s not only food, it is pure natural medicine!
Actually the variety from Lesvos is better..
"Which makes it the ideal home for olive groves"
The olive groves every time Gordon Ramsay uses a "touch of olive oil": *Mr Ramsay, I don't feel so good*

The same is true with wine. Some of the highest ranked wines are super cheap from Napa Valley. Not from France.
@@karozans That's correct. I bet very few if not everyone, can't tell the difference between various products of the same variety. Most people judge subjectively and tend to value more their actual preference than the product itself. That's why bad products get good reviews too.
@@chris.to.the.g Agree 100%. Also it depends on how you deliver it. A while ago a guy played a prank on people by giving them water and telling them it was the Swiss Alps ancient volcano spring and all that nonsense. He was actually taking a bottle and filling it up with a garden hose from the city municipal supply. But the people thought they were drinking something special and they were talking about how "pure" it was.
One of my favorite foods is salmon. A while ago I bought a super expensive wild caught sockeye salmon and cooked it. It was so gross. It was super dry and had a really fishy taste and smell. Give me the cheap farm raised Atlantic salmon please.
what a lovely lady, she's very knowledgeable and super excited about the process!
A friend of mine, when I was growing up in California had an olive grove. I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eat an olive fresh off the tree.
It a once-in-a-lifetime event because it is something you only do once in your life!
There is a great video of an American woman vacationing in rural Italy. She is talking about how beautiful it is when she mentions eating fresh olives right off the tree. The video ends at this point for some reason.
Lovely episode!
What a beautiful color that oil has!
you should go to a oil mill just to smell and see it, videos dont do it justice
Kalamata is also known for its other high quality plants :)
Mousmoula?
@@warpspeed9877 ummm... yes...mousmoula... xD
Crete as well :)
weed from kalamata is the best weed in Greece
Very good video. Short in duration but with a lot of good information. My husband works in the company as a technician who has supplied the client with the olive oil extraction machines, the decanter and the separator.
Extra virgin olive oil has the distinct strong, fruity smell that I just can't forget.
You' re right!
Delicious and healthy... hard to ask for that with an oil.
Wow, Amazing !!
This whole series is too interesting
The best olive 🫒 oil produced in the central Greece and especially in the areas of Attica and Boeotia. Those areas have the biggest history on olive 🫒 oil and olive 🫒 trees and there are trees over 2.500 years old. The real extra virgin olive oil.
I run a closed loop Koroneiki, olive oil company called Aeithalis. People who want to try award winning extra virgin olive oil should check with their local zero waste store in the UK. Aeithalis is stocked at most of them!
