Kostas Tsigounis - St. Mamas of Laconia
Initiated into the secrets of the olive oil cultivation by my grandfather and father, I have learnt, from a very young age to love the olive oil product. Growing up I dreamt of producing exceptional olive oil. I am proud that I belong to the group of MOLON LAVE producers. It is impressive for me to know that my field is worldwide an olive farm model in which new innovative technologies and production systems are implemented along with the traditional practices.
