EVONYMON Olive Oil & Herbs

“HARMONY OF QUALITY AND TRADITIONAL FLAVOURS"... This is the motto of the owners of the company "EVONYMON" who, in 2013, made an effort to change their lifestyle, following a new healthy life. Based on their understanding of the Mediterranean Diet, they decided to utilise the excellent products of Messenia. Thus, the "EVONYMON" company was "born", the "child" of a pharmacist and a chemist, with the aim of contributing to the production and standardisation of authentic Greek products, such as the extra virgin olive oil and the aromatic Greek herbs they grow on their estate under the name “Agros”.

The owners aim to continue producing excellent products and honouring their customers' trust. They now pass on their knowledge and experience of Olive Oil and Herbs to visitors to their estate.

The Agros Estate (Agros), where "EVONYMON" products are processed and produced, is located in the village of Varakes, southwest of the Peloponnese. The tours offered are intended for those interested in understanding the entire process from olive-to-olive oil. Visitors will learn about the history, cultivation, harvesting and production of our country's "liquid gold" and will have the opportunity to learn the secrets of tasting olive oil and how to match it with food.

Depending on the tour, visitors will taste some excellent samples of local flavours, fine local wines and homemade sweets.

They will also have the opportunity to visit the botanical garden with medicinal plants and learn many secrets about their use.

In the shop on the premises, one can buy "EVONYMON" products, baskets or boxes with selected packages and collections of wonderful products for gifts to loved ones, as well as many local products from unique producers.

There is also an e-shop for those who want to continue shopping.

For more information, either for tasting or purchasing, contact them.

The farm on which the guesthouse "AGROS" is located is a beautiful and peaceful place, a natural refuge among the olive trees, herbs and vegetables.

The guest house is 25 sq.m. and has a large double bed, kitchenette and a wonderful terrace with a view of the olive groves that stretch to Methoni and the sea.

The site also offers a series of tours called Farm Experiences that combine information about growing, harvesting, and production, as well as olive oil and wine tasting and pairing with different flavours.
