A new grove for Trigono-Lamda
On December 8th 2008, Trigono-Lamda acquired a new grove!
The grove is adjacent to the Lamda grove and has been named Delta.
Delta is 3,600 square metres (3.6 strema) and borders Lamda to the East,
the stream to the North, the farm road to the West. It rises to the south,
where a hedge separates it from an ajoining property.
Delta has been beautifully maintained and gives a good crop from 61 trees dating from 1964.
The trees are well spaced and the gently sloping hillside is sunny and very attractive
, with a view towards the peaceful village of Pidassos to the North-east.
Chronology of Delta Olive Grove
2008
Purchase of the grove in December. Olives harvested by the previous owner along with the Lamda harvest. Oil quality high, oxidation 0.3.
Why Delta?
The Trigono-Lamda olive groves have been named according to their shape and the new grove has a straight border along the bank of the stream but a curved border rising up to the south, forming a D shape. The D also acknowledges the previous owner, Dimitris, who has a been a kind neighbour and friend.
Purchasing Delta is important to Trigono-Lamda because it enables direct, flat, access to both
main olive groves. Harvesting will be easier; it took two days this year to harvest
both groves with a 507 litre yield from 135 trees.
