Lykovouno Olive Oil Company

Lykovouno Olive Oil is grown and produced in Greece on the private estate of San Francisco Dermatologist Dr. Peter Panagotacos. This estate was started in 1985 on the slope of his ancestral village of Lykovouno. 4,500 Koroneiki trees were planted at that time.

In 1985 over 4,000 Koroneiki olive trees were planted by Dr Peter Panagotacos and his cousin Petros Panagiotakakos down the hill from where their granfather was born in the village of Lykovouno. Koroneiki trees were planted at that time. It was the doctor's intention to produce the finest quality olive oil to be sold back home in the United States. It was a family business from the beginning with the plan of producing an award winning Greek olive oil which could be brought back to be sold at home in San Francisco. The olives are hand picked, cold pressed, and hand bottled on the family estate. Lykovouno Olive Oil is pure Koroneiki olive oil, solely produced on this estate, not blended with other oils. It is unsurpassed for its exquisite and flavorful aroma, possesses excellent organoleptic qualities. It has a fresh fruit-of-the-olive taste and aroma with hints of fruit, pepper and grass. The hard work and effort to produce a gourmet olive oil has resulted in State Fair awards, both in Lakonia, Greece and in the Los Angeles County Fair.
