There are approximately 139 olive tree varieties worldwide. The olive’s variety affects color, size, texture and flavor. Our high value variety of Koroneiki olives are from Kalamata, Greece. Distinguishing factors of the Koroneiki varietal is its unique taste and aroma that is complimented by traditional cultivation methods, including hand-picking all our olives!
The Greek culture associates oregano with joy and happiness, deriving from the Greek words oros, meaning mountain, and ganos, meaning joy. The rocky slopes of Mount Teygetus offer the most potent oregano found in the world and is full of beneficial properties for all the human senses.
Did you know… that oregano is full of fiber, calcium and iron? It has 42 grams of fiber, 9 grams of protein, 160% calcium, and 204% Iron, and 68% calcium in just 100 grams! No wonder it is considered a powerful bacteria fighting antioxidant that serves as natural antibiotic may even have anti-cancer properties.

Welcome to Nikos Market !
Our products are directly imported from the Peloponnese peninsula of southern Greece. The family farm, located just outside of Sparta, starting with local distribution to households and restaurants. The coordinating elements of rich soil and climatic conditions in this southeastern region of Greece formed the ultimate environment for growth of our high-quality olive crop.
We use a single variety of olive called Koroneiki, known for its superior production of EVOO. Using a single variety of high-quality olives along with an unrefined (no chemicals used ever!) produces the lowest acidity rates possible, under 0.3%. Olives are hand-picked and cold pressed that same day and we never blend any other olive types in our EVOO. It is the purest EVOO from our land of over 25,000 trees. This completely natural process creates a full-bodied, rich flavor that many compare to fine wine!
Did you know… that the very high level of polyphenols of the Koroneiki olive is found to lower risk of heart disease and cancer?
