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

Kosterina Garlic Olive Oil is a cold-pressed, early-harvest extra virgin olive oil infused with robust garlic flavor, packaged in a 16.9 oz tin for freshness and everyday use.

Harvested from single-origin Koroneiki olives grown in southern Greece, this garlic-infused EVOO is produced by the Kosterina family in Koroni. The oil combines early-harvest fruitiness and high polyphenol levels with a pronounced garlic character, making it suitable for finishing dishes, salad dressings, and cooking at moderate temperatures. Packaged in a protective tin, it retains aroma and freshness longer than clear bottles.

What makes this garlic olive oil different from standard extra virgin olive oils?

Unlike mass-produced oils, Kosterina uses hand-harvested Koroneiki olives from a single region and presses them early to preserve flavor and antioxidants. The product is cold-pressed to maintain the natural compounds in the oil and then blended with garlic to achieve a savory profile without masking the olive character.

• Single-origin Koroneiki olives from southern Greece
• Early-harvest fruit pressed cold to preserve flavor and polyphenols
• Garlic infusion balanced to complement, not overpower
• Packaged in a light-blocking tin to protect quality

How does the high polyphenol content benefit flavor and shelf life?

Higher polyphenol levels contribute to a peppery, lively mouthfeel and help preserve the oil’s natural aroma. Although not a medical claim, polyphenols are natural antioxidants that can slow oxidation, helping the oil maintain freshness and robust taste when stored properly.

• Noticeable fresh, peppery finish from early-harvest olives
• Antioxidant-rich profile slows flavor degradation
• Cold pressing preserves volatile aromatic compounds
• Tin packaging reduces light exposure that causes rancidity

How should I use Kosterina Garlic Olive Oil in the kitchen?

This oil shines as a finishing drizzle on roasted vegetables, grilled proteins, and warm salads where its garlic notes can be appreciated. It’s also excellent in vinaigrettes, dipping bowls with bread, or added near the end of low-to-medium-heat cooking to keep the fresh garlic aroma intact.

• Drizzle over roasted or grilled foods just before serving
• Use in salad dressings for a savory garlic lift
• Mix with herbs and lemon for an instant marinade or dip
• Avoid high smoke temperatures to preserve flavor compounds

How is this product packaged and why does that matter?

The 16.9 oz tin shields the oil from light and air better than clear glass, helping keep the garlic-infused aroma and polyphenol-rich profile stable. The tin also makes storage easier in pantry or kitchen settings and is travel-friendly for bringing quality EVOO to gatherings.

• Light-blocking tin protects against oxidation
• Resealable top reduces air exposure between uses
• Durable and convenient for countertop or pantry storage
• Size balances household use with freshness retention
