The Georgiou family has been cultivating olives in this landscape for over a century. The September 2025 harvest is cold-pressed at sub-0.3% free acidity — well below the 0.8% legal ceiling for extra virgin classification. Polyphenols test in the 350–500 mg\/kg range, characteristic of early-harvested Laconian Koroneiki. The Sparta Gourmet line has earned seven international award recognitions: Silver in the High Polyphenol category at the Berlin Global Olive Oil Awards 2022, Silver at the New York International Olive Oil Competition, Silver at the London Olive Oil Awards 2021, and four new 2026 medals — Gold at the Olive Japan International Olive Oil Competition, Silver (Quality category) at the London International Olive Oil Competition, Silver at the Athena International Olive Oil Competition, and Silver at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex; flex-wrap:wrap; gap:20px; align-items:center; margin:1.5rem 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/6469\/6887\/files\/sparta-gourmet-gold-medal-olive-japan-2026.png?v=1784795542\" alt=\"Sparta Gourmet Gold Medal, Olive Japan 2026 International Olive Oil Competition\" style=\"max-width:130px; height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/6469\/6887\/files\/sparta-gourmet-silver-medal-london-ioc-2026.png?v=1784795542\" alt=\"Sparta Gourmet Silver Medal, Quality category, London International Olive Oil Competition 2026\" style=\"max-width:130px; height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/6469\/6887\/files\/sparta-gourmet-silver-medal-athena-2026.png?v=1784796079\" alt=\"Sparta Gourmet Silver Medal, Athena International Olive Oil Competition 2026\" style=\"max-width:130px; height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/6469\/6887\/files\/sparta-gourmet-silver-medal-nyiooc-2026.png?v=1784796077\" alt=\"Sparta Gourmet Silver Medal, NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition 2026\" style=\"max-width:130px; height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the 3L Tin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight is the primary driver of olive oil oxidation. Most glass bottles — even dark ones — let in enough to degrade the oil over months of use. The opaque tin blocks it entirely. Combined with the resealable cap and pour spout, it's a format built for a kitchen that goes through olive oil freely, without rationing. Decant into a smaller bottle for the counter if you prefer; keep the tin in a cool pantry. Best consumed within 18 months of the September 2025 harvest (by March 2027) and within 6–8 months of opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt roughly 200 tablespoons per tin, this is the lowest cost-per-use we offer on Sparta Gourmet — without any compromise on the oil. For families, weekly meal preppers, and anyone tired of running out mid-recipe, this is the format that makes sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse Sparta Gourmet 3L for everything the kitchen demands: sautéing vegetables, roasting lamb or chicken, building marinades, whisking dressings, and finishing dishes at the table.

It produces an oil with a robust, slightly peppery character that holds up to heat without losing its flavor. Where delicate oils from larger olive varieties can flatten under heat, Laconian Koroneiki stays present in the pan and in the finished dish. It's the variety Greek kitchens have cooked with for centuries, and it's the reason Greek food tastes the way it does.
