Kosterina Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cold-Pressed Greek EVOO, 100% Pure Early Harvest Koroneiki Olives

Kosterina: Authentic Greek Olive Oil Beyond the Mediterranean

In 2016, Katerina Mountanos founded Kosterina with a simple goal: to share authentic Greek olive oil with the world beyond the Mediterranean region. Katerina, hailing from Southern Greece, had long enjoyed the fresh, delicious EVOO pressed from her family's olive trees. However, upon moving to the United States, she could never find a proper substitute for the premium Greek EVOO she had grown to love. This prompted her to partner with farmers in the Peloponnese region of Greece to develop a truly exceptional, premium Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

What Makes Kosterina Unique? Kosterina olive oil is made exclusively from early-harvest Koroneiki olives sourced from the Peloponnese region of Greece. This meticulous process of producing cold-pressed, early-harvest EVOO ensures that Kosterina's products maintain the rich flavor and superior health benefits associated with authentic extra virgin olive oil.

Unlike much of the olive oil sold in the US as "extra virgin," Kosterina's EVOO meets the strict standards for this designation, as it is cold-pressed to preserve its high polyphenol content - a key indicator of quality and health benefits.

A Passion for Authentic Greek Flavor Katerina and her husband Kostas started Kosterina in 2017 to bring the flavors of their Greek heritage to the US and beyond. They were motivated by the realization that nearly 70% of olive oil sold in America as "extra virgin" did not actually meet the official standards, leaving consumers without access to the true taste and health advantages of genuine EVOO.

Kosterina's products combine traditional and modern Mediterranean flavors, resulting in a robust, earthy, and peppery taste profile that complements a wide variety of dishes. Whether used for cooking, dressings, or as a finishing touch, Kosterina's EVOO adds a rich, flavorful complexity.

Olive Oil Runs Through Our Veins Kosterina's olive oil is sourced from olives that are hand-harvested early and cold-pressed in small batches to maximize flavor and nutritional value. This meticulous process ensures optimal freshness and quality in every bottle.

The Health Benefits of Authentic EVOO Kosterina's extra virgin olive oil is a true superfood, containing 8 to 10 times the free-radical-fighting properties of traditional store-bought oils. It is brimming with antioxidants that promote overall health and well-being.

Moreover, Greece is home to one of the world's "Blue Zones" - regions with exceptionally long-lived populations. The longevity of these communities is largely attributed to their plant-based diets, which prominently feature the use of high-quality EVOO, like that offered by Kosterina.

Versatile and Flavorful Kosterina's extra virgin olive oil can be used to enhance a wide variety of dishes, from salads and appetizers to entrees and holiday meals. Its smooth, robust flavor adds a delicious richness to any recipe.
