Description
Here are just a few things about our oils:
- From organically grown and processed Greek Koroneiki olives. Fresh one-varietal, not a blend of inferior olives as you’ll find elsewhere
- Hand-picked and cold-pressed. Both the Hinaris family and the Kotsovolas family operate the old fashioned way. The olives are hand-picked to prevent bruising, then crushed within a few hours of harvesting to preserve the quality, taste and aroma
- Unfiltered oils with Extremely Low Acidity (Early Harvest–0.4%, and Private Reserve — 0.3%)
- Exquisite taste and aroma.
- 2018 Harvest. Current stock bottled end of April 2019.
I use the Private Reserve oil on a daily basis for all my cooking and baking, and the Early Harvest for salads and to enhance soups, fish, and poultry dishes.

Like so many others, I never knew olive oil could taste so good – clean and fresh! Thank you. I’m new to Mediterranean cooking but have loved everything I’ve tried and all the fresh salads are so easy and delicious. The other recipes are mostly low in sodium which is the diet I have to follow and, if they’re not, they are so easy to modify. Tonight is Za-atar roasted chicken breast recipe (which I modified using boneless/skinless) using za-atar and sumac, my two new favorites. The smell alone from the oven is to die for. Yum! Thank you Suzy and The Mediterranean Dish!

I am planning on baking my first olive oil cake and would like to know which of your oils is preferable for baking. Thanks, Barry
Suzy Karadsheh –
Hi Barry, I tend to use the Private Reserve EVOO for baking (like in this cake: https://shop.themediterraneandish.com/italian-olive-oil-cake-apple/) But I would encourage you to give each a quick taste and decide which you would like to come through in your cake. They’re both exquisite oils

My bundle arrived yesterday and although I haven’t used the oil on food or in a recipe yet, I did a taste test…..never knew olive oil could taste this fresh and delicious! Can’t wait to enjoy it on or in something other than my finger. It really deserves 5star plus!

Janet, thank you so much for taking the time to share! I am so glad you’re loving the EVOO. Can’t wait to hear what you make!
