the family history

For seven generations, the family Panagouleas has been producing extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality in Kampos West Mani, Kalamata, Greece.

The family presence at Kampos West Mani dates back to the 16th century, with active participation in the Greek Revolution of 1821, as mentioned in the recent book ‘Window in History‘ by Nadia Panagoulea – Kyriazopoulou. ‘Maniates’ assert that no enemy entered ‘Mani’ through out the centuries as it was characterized by rough landscape and tough captains.
