Discovering Sparta Gourmet

Perched along the scenic EO Spartis Githiou at the 9th kilometer marker outside Sparti, Sparta Gourmet S.A. stands as a beacon of Greece's olive heritage. Operated by the Valioti family, this facility transforms olives from their own groves into world-class extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). The deep golden-green hue, pure aroma of fresh harvest, and robust flavor profile make it a standout product, harvested and cold-pressed using mechanical methods to preserve nutrients and taste.

Production Excellence

The state-of-the-art factory features cutting-edge machinery that halves processing time while ensuring top quality. Koroneiki olives, thriving in the fertile Peloponnese soil under a mild climate, yield an oil with spicy finish, velvety texture, and notes of antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats. From first cold press at temperatures below 27°C, the oil is bottled on-site, supporting exports worldwide. Beyond EVOO, they craft stuffed and sliced olives like Kalamata and green varieties, all hand-harvested to maintain flavor integrity.

Spartan Legacy Meets Innovation

Rooted in Sparta's ancient values of discipline and excellence, Sparta Gourmet fuses tradition with modernity. Each drop encapsulates the miracle of nature, from grove to bottle, promoting the Mediterranean lifestyle. The site's location near historic Sparti invites travelers to connect with this cultural cornerstone, sampling products that elevate dressings, salads, grilled meats, and daily cooking.

Visitor Experience

Though primarily industrial, the facility welcomes those seeking an authentic behind-the-scenes look at olive oil production. Guided tours reveal the journey from olive groves to finished product, with tasting sessions highlighting the oil's versatility. Surrounded by rolling hills, it's an ideal stop for food enthusiasts exploring Laconia's bounty, offering insights into sustainable practices and family craftsmanship.
