Oichalia is one of the most prosperous municipalities of the Peloponnese, distinguished for the richness of its production and the constantly improving organization of its production units. The excellent climatic conditions allow the cultivation of a variety of products, known for their quality and aroma.
Extra virgin olive oil, the Kalamata table olive, dried figs and Corinthian raisins form the basis of the Messinian Mediterranean diet, to which Messinians have owed their longevity for many centuries. Finally, wine is an indispensable complement to local gastronomy and is part of the tradition of Oichalia.
