Laconiko
Laconiko is a team of two brothers, Diamantis and Dino Pierrakos, both first generation immigrants to the States from Greece. Their father, Vasilios, spent his life tending olive groves just off the Mediterranean coast, crafting artisan oil in the way of his ancestors. While Vasilios is no longer with us, Diamantis and Dino carry on the family tradition, pitting their groves and their heritage against an onslaught of adulterated commercial olive oil. The majority of production happens on their land in Greece, while the bottling performed in-house in Manassas, VA. Diamantis and Dino had left their family and their home to bring their vision to America. They blend and sell their oils here, and are a driving feature in Virginia's food economy.
