Kosterina Extra Virgin Olive Oil Koroneiki 16.9oz — Cold-Pressed Early‑Harvest, High Polyphenols

Kosterina Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a cold-pressed, early-harvest Koroneiki olive oil from southern Greece, offering a bold, peppery flavor and high polyphenol content for cooking and finishing.

Harvested from single-origin Koroneiki trees in southern Greece, this 16.9oz bottle captures the fresh, grassy character of early-season olives. Cold pressing preserves the oil's natural aromas and beneficial compounds while the opaque packaging protects quality by blocking light. Use it to brighten salads, finish roasted vegetables, or add a fragrant Mediterranean touch to everyday recipes.

How does Kosterina EVOO taste and perform in the kitchen?

The flavor profile is fresh and assertive, with green-fruity notes and a peppery finish that stands up when used as a finishing oil. Its robust character complements both raw applications and cooked dishes without losing personality. Because it’s cold-pressed from early-harvest Koroneiki olives, you’ll notice concentrated aroma and mouthfeel.

• Bold, green-fruity aroma with a peppery afterbite.
• Great for dressings, drizzling, and low-to-medium-heat cooking.
• Enhances salads, grilled vegetables, bread dipping, and sauces.

Why is the oil described as high polyphenol and does that matter?

High polyphenol content simply means the oil retains more of the olives' natural antioxidants and flavor compounds because of early harvesting and careful pressing. That concentration contributes to a pronounced, lively taste and helps maintain oil stability. It’s a quality marker used by chefs and home cooks who prefer oils with distinct sensory character.

• Early-harvest Koroneiki olives retain more flavor compounds.
• Cold pressing preserves delicate polyphenols and aromas.
• Results in a fuller, more complex flavor profile.

How is this oil produced and packaged to protect quality?

Kosterina sources olives from a single Greek region and presses them cold shortly after harvest to lock in freshness. The oil is stored in opaque containers to shield it from light and preserve its sensory and chemical integrity. These production choices focus on maintaining the original characteristics of the olives from grove to bottle.

• Single-origin Koroneiki olives hand-harvested in southern Greece.
• Cold-pressed the same season to preserve aroma and structure.
• Opaque glass or tin containers to reduce light exposure.

What practical uses should I expect for a 16.9oz bottle?

The 16.9oz size is versatile for both daily cooking and occasional gourmet uses—big enough for regular use but still easy to store and keep fresh once opened. It’s convenient for countertops, gift boxes, or small kitchens where you want premium oil on hand without committing to a large container.

• Perfect for countertop use and finishing dishes.
• Handy size for gifting or culinary experimentation.
• Easy to store; protects freshness with proper opaque packaging.

Who is this for? Kosterina Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil suits anyone who values bold, authentic Greek olive oil—home cooks, food lovers, and professional chefs seeking a single-origin, early-harvest Koroneiki oil. If you want a flavorful finishing oil that brings bright, green-fruity notes and peppery accents to salads, bread, and roasted dishes, this 16.9oz bottle provides a manageable, high-quality option that highlights the character of southern Greece.
