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. Antonio Ngresi, Vassiliki Beku 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. George Panagoulias - Evi Housala - Eleni Tseroni - Dimitris Petropoulos 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!!!
