Organic Kalamata Olives with PDO Extra Virgin Olive Oil
At Greek Pony Farm, the Nikolakopoulos family continues a four-generation legacy of cultivating the finest organic olives in Messinia. Handpicked one by one, each olive is carefully selected to ensure only the ripest and best fruits are chosen. After being allowed to mature naturally in brine, the olives are preserved in the farm’s own PDO Kalamata extra virgin olive oil, maintaining their rich flavours and vibrant quality.
These Kalamata olives are not only a visual delight, with their glossy skins that range from deep browns to purples and blacks, but they also offer an exceptional taste experience. Fleshy, firm, and bursting with natural aromas, they deliver a satisfying crunch and an intense, earthy flavour that reflects their unique heritage. Perfect for adding depth to salads, cheese boards, or simply enjoyed on their own, these olives elevate any dish.
The Nikolakopoulos family has always honoured tradition, and their organic farming practices speak to their deep respect for the land. The olives are processed using time-honoured, natural methods passed down through generations. Their dedication to maintaining the quality of these ancient trees results in olives that not only embody the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Kalamata but also showcase the distinctive taste, texture, and colour that make them a culinary treasure.
These olives are more than just a product—they are a reflection of Greek Pony Farm’s rich history, respect for nature, and commitment to excellence. Preserved in their own organic Kalamata extra virgin olive oil, they offer a true taste of Messinia’s agricultural bounty.
Greek Pony Farm is nestled in the village of Rodhia, Kyparissia, in the heart of Messinia, Peloponnese—a region celebrated since antiquity as a fertile paradise. This remarkable farm, owned by the Nikolakopoulos family, thrives in this blessed land, where the richness of Greek soil has nurtured exceptional fruits for thousands of years.
The family’s legacy stretches back four generations, with a deep-seated devotion to the craft of olive farming. This dedication is evident in every olive tree on the farm, where personal care is taken from cultivation to production. Their extra virgin olive oil and Kalamata olives are renowned for their unparalleled quality, embodying the family's commitment to excellence and tradition.
At the core of this farm is a unique ecosystem, where nature and farming coexist in harmony. The Greek Pony Farm is named for its herd of free-roaming ponies, including their leader, "Socrates," who play a key role in the farm's natural cultivation. These ponies graze freely among the olive groves, naturally weeding and fertilizing the soil, creating an environment that produces healthier trees and tastier fruit. Alongside the ponies, a variety of animals, including deer, sheep, horses, and cows, contribute to this organic ecosystem, promoting sustainability at every level.
For the Nikolakopoulos family, farming is more than a business—it is a way of life. Their passion and commitment are reflected in every drop of their olive oil and each carefully selected olive. The farm’s philosophy of working hand-in-hand with nature ensures that every product they offer is infused with authenticity, quality, and the essence of Greece.
The ponies, symbolising the farm’s harmonious relationship with nature, are more than just a part of the landscape—they are a vital element of the farm’s cultivation process and the signature mark of Greek Pony Farm products.
With a respect for tradition and a vision for sustainability, the Nikolakopoulos family continues to honour their heritage while sharing their remarkable organic produce with the world.
