The local products
of Corinth
Dear readers, visit our beautiful place and try its pure
and delicious products. They will be unforgettable for
sure.
Corinthian raisin
One of the treasures of the Corinthian land is the raisin.
The raisin, the small raisin, the tiny raisin, the ornament
of our place. The raisin, the wrinkled small, blonde grape
that wanted to sit in the summer sun. She was
sunbathing in the August sun and tanned. Children and
adults go crazy for its delicate taste. At school, young
students eat raisins and gain energy and a clear mind.
Many people who get sick taste this delicious fruit and
gain their health. That's why, our friends, "a handful of
raisins a day, they make the doctor over".
Argyris Tswtos
Corinthian raisins have been cultivated in Greece since
Homeric times, with Herodotus, Plato and Aristotle often
referring to raisins as currants or small raisins. In the
19th c. Corinthian raisins were for the Greek economy
what coffee was for Brazil.

Agiorgitiko wine
One of the most famous products of the prefecture is the
wine of Nemea. Agiorgitiko is the king of red wines in
Greece. It is called that name because Nemea used to
be called Ai-Giorgis (Saint George).
The ancient Greeks considered it a sacred product,
while grape stones found in Mycenaean jars prove the
direct relationship with the wine of Nemea. Nemea wine
is exported all over the world and many visitors come
and admire the wineries of the area.

Οlive "Manaki"
"Manaki" is a local olive variety grown in Corinth. This
extra virgin olive oil is a very beneficial product for
humans and studies have shown that it strengthens the
human immune system, the brain and the cardiac
function as well! This oil is grown without spraying with
pesticides and herbicides which makes it even healthier!
This creates a light oil with a nice fruity scent, rich in
vitamins and trace elements!!!
