MANASSAS, VA, June 03, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Laconiko, a producer of single-origin, first-press, early harvest extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), is proud to announce its estate olive oil was awarded "The Best in Greece" and "Best Koroneiki Olive Oil in the World" at this year's Athena International Olive Oil Competition (AIOOC).
"This is the most significant international olive oil competition in Greece, and one of the most prestigious competitions in the world, so we feel overwhelming pride and heartfelt gratitude to be recognized," shares Dino Pierrakos, co-owner of Laconiko. "American shoppers are discerning and have inspired us to innovate and bring the healthiest and most flavorful olive oils to market. This award is a tribute to our loyal customers who continue to support our family's tradition."

"Our infused and flavored olive oils sometimes get overlooked, so this award from AIOCC means the world to us," shares Pierrakos. "On the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) habanero pepper is 100 times hotter than jalapeno so brace yourself.
