Kosterina Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Cold-Pressed Greek EVOO, for Health Conscious Consumers

Kosterina: Authentically Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In 2016, Katerina Mountanos founded Kosterina with a simple goal: to share authentic Greek olive oil beyond the Mediterranean region. Teaming up with farmers in the Peloponnese region of Greece, she began the meticulous process of producing early-harvest, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) - a timeless super ingredient that Kosterina has perfected by combining traditional and modern Mediterranean flavors with superior health benefits.

Katerina and her husband Kostas started Kosterina in 2017 in an effort to extend the flavor of authentic EVOO from their home in Southern Greece to the US and beyond. This became extremely important after realizing that nearly 70% of all olive oil sold in the US as authentic EVOO did not actually meet official extra virgin standards, resulting in a lack of the rich flavor and health benefits of true EVOO.

Kosterina's olive oil is made from early-harvest Koroneiki olives sourced exclusively from the Peloponnese region of Greece. Cold-pressing allows the EVOO to maintain a high polyphenol content, which is a requirement for EVOO to be considered authentic. Polyphenols are powerful, naturally occurring antioxidants clinically proven to reduce inflammation in the body, making Kosterina's EVOO a true superfood.

The smooth, aromatic, and robust flavor of Kosterina's EVOO adds a savory depth to a variety of dishes, making it versatile for cooking, entertaining, and recipes. Kosterina's EVOO also combines beautifully with their selection of flavorful balsamic vinegars to create tangy, complex flavor profiles.

Beyond its superior taste and health benefits, Kosterina's EVOO is a celebration of Greek heritage. Greece is home to one of the world's five Blue Zones - regions with populations that hold much higher life expectancy, often attributed to a plant-based diet rich in EVOO.

Kosterina offers a range of EVOO products, including their Original Premium EVOO, Organic Everyday EVOO, Garlic EVOO, and Spicy EVOO. They also provide an Extra Virgin Hydrating Face Oil made with their cold-pressed EVOO, promoting youthful, radiant skin.

Kosterina's commitment to quality is evident in their small-batch, hand-harvested Koroneiki olives, ensuring a craft olive oil experience from tree to table. All of their EVOO products are gluten-free, vegetarian, lactose-free, non-GMO, and vegan.

Whether drizzled over salads, used for cooking, or incorporated into skincare, Kosterina's authentic Greek EVOO brings the rich, flavorful essence of the Mediterranean to your everyday life.
