From the Farm

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

This oil has an 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.

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

How to Use

This oil is best used as a finishing oil to preserve its vibrant character. Drizzle it over salads, soups, grilled fish, or roasted vegetables to enhance flavor and aroma. It’s also excellent in dressings or as a splash over pasta, grains, or warm flatbreads to add a rich, fresh finish to everyday dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Early Harvest extra virgin olive oil?

Early Harvest extra virgin olive oil is made from olives picked at the very beginning of the harvest season while they are still green. This results in an oil with bold flavor, higher polyphenol content, and naturally low acidity.

What makes Early Harvest olive oil different?

This olive oil is made from early-harvest Koroneiki olives and cold-extracted shortly after picking. Harvesting olives early preserves more natural antioxidants and flavor compounds, resulting in a fresher, more robust oil with higher polyphenols and lower acidity.

What does Early Harvest olive oil taste like?

Early Harvest olive oil has a bold, vibrant flavor with fresh, grassy notes, and a noticeable peppery finish. This intensity is a hallmark of high polyphenol content and fresh, high-quality oil.

Is Early Harvest high in polyphenols and what does that mean?

Yes, this early harvest olive oil is naturally rich in polyphenols—powerful antioxidants found in high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Polyphenols contribute to the oil’s bold flavor, stability, and potential health benefits, and are often responsible for the peppery, slightly bitter finish. Early harvest oils tend to have higher polyphenol levels because the olives are picked while still green.

How do I use Early Harvest olive oil in cooking?

Early Harvest olive oil is versatile and can be used for both cooking and finishing. It works well for sautéing and roasting, but it’s especially valued as a finishing oil where its bold, fresh flavor can shine—such as drizzling over salads, vegetables, bread, or cooked proteins.

What makes Koroneiki olives special?

Koroneiki olives are known for producing high-quality olive oil with rich flavor and naturally high polyphenol levels. They are a prized Greek variety commonly used in premium extra virgin olive oils.

How should I store extra virgin olive oil?

Store olive oil in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly sealed. Proper storage helps preserve its flavor, aroma, and polyphenol content over time. Consume by the bottle's best by date to enjoy its peak freshness and flavor.

From Family Groves to Your Family's Table

Three generations of care, tradition, and craft pressed into every bottle.

Single-Source

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

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.

"Early Harvest Greek EVOO has quickly become a favorite in my routine. I start each morning with a shot after seeing a video on the benefits—it’s fresh, smooth, and in my opinion, the best olive oil I’ve ever had. A total game-changer!"
