Everything you need to know about olive oil. What are the different types of olive oil? What's the best EVOO to buy? Is it good for you? Can you cook with it? How do you store it? This easy guide will answer all your questions and more!

We enjoy Early Harvest in all our salads, and recipes like this simple Mediterranean olive oil pasta; and as a finishing oil to enhance soups, fish, and poultry dishes.

Origin

Our Early Harvest extra virgin olive oil is produced by the Kotsovolos family in the beautiful mountain village of Christianoupolis in Messenia, Greece. Like their cousins, the Hinaris family who produce our Private Reserve oil, the Kotsovoloses have been at this for more than 100 years!

Koroneiki olives are handpicked early in the season while still green to produce the prized ‘early harvest’ oil, known in Greece as ‘agoureleo.’ Once harvested, the olives are crushed within hours to preserve the quality, taste and aroma of the olives.

Flavor Profile

Our Early Harvest oil has the aroma of green figs and fresh green herbs with hints of wild asparagus and flat leaf parsley and thyme. The taste is light, fresh and herbal with a slight chicory bitterness and mild peppery heat, following by a short nutty finish.

And because it is a true agoureleo, this oil is rich green in color, and robust and pungent due to the high level of antioxidants. You may feel a slight burning sensation on your tongue and in your throat – this pungency is often described as a ‘peppery’ finish.

Why buy from us?

High Polyphenols

All our olive oils contain higher polyphenols than the average store-bought olive oil. This means our olive oil is loaded with antioxidants and powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

Early Harvest

Our olive oils are produced by olives that are harvested early before they ripen, ensuring they have bolder flavors and higher levels of polyphenols.

Single-Source

Our producers partner with small family estates from a single region, producing a far superior olive oil than average.

I love these EVOOs. I really trust and can feel the quality in it. I honestly can’t taste the difference yet between this one and the other I purchased, but I think I will as my palate for EVOO gets more refined.
