P.J. KABOS Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Family Reserve Organic 16.9oz Glass Bottle, High Phenolics 400+ mg/kg, Cold‑Extracted

Straight from the Koroneiki groves near Ancient Olympia north of Kalamata, this USDA Organic, Kosher, single‑origin extra virgin olive oil was hand harvested in October–November 2025 and cold extracted to preserve fresh flavor and natural antioxidants. Bottled in an elegant 16.9 fl oz glass bottle with a practical pouring spout, it’s unrefined, non‑GMO, and carries a very low acidity under 0.25% for clean, bright taste. Tested by the International Olive Council’s certified HPLC method, it reports over 400 mg/kg total phenolics and meets EU hydroxytyrosol levels for the related claim.

How does this oil taste and how will it change my recipes?

The oil offers medium tasting intensity with pronounced green fruitiness and a complex finish. Expect fresh aromas like cut grass, basil, and tomato stem, and a palate showing medium bitterness and peppery pungency that lingers—great for finishing or as a base for robust dishes.

• Flavor notes: cut grass, artichoke, basil, tomato stem.
• Mouthfeel: medium fruitiness with balanced bitterness and pungency.
• Best uses: finishing oil, salad dressings, dips, and Mediterranean recipes.
• Pairs well with: salads, grilled vegetables, seafood, poultry, and artisan bread.

What makes this bottle "high phenolic" and why does that matter?

Phenolics are natural compounds in olives that contribute to flavor stability and oxidation resistance. This oil was analyzed with the IOC‑certified HPLC method and shows 400+ mg/kg total polyphenols, plus hydroxytyrosol derivatives above the EU threshold referenced for labeling.

• Certified testing: International Olive Council (HPLC) certified measurement.
• Reported level: more than 400 mg/kg total phenolics.
• Hydroxytyrosol: 5+ mg per 20 g, meeting EU disclosure criteria.
• Practical benefit: greater flavor persistence and shelf stability compared with lower‑phenolic oils.

Can I cook with it, and what cooking methods are appropriate?

This oil is versatile: recommended as a finishing oil but robust enough for most cooking needs. Its very low acidity and a smoke point listed above 400°F make it suitable for sautéing, roasting, and many frying techniques while still delivering Mediterranean flavor.

• Suitable for: raw use, sautéing, roasting, grilling, and light deep frying.
• Safety: high smoke point above 400°F for broad kitchen use.
• Storage: keep in a cool, dark place; best before December 2027.
