About Kosterina: “Hi! I’m Katerina Mountanos. I’m a serial entrepreneur with a passion for family, living a healthy lifestyle, and, of course, all things Greek.
In 2016, I started Kosterina with input and inspiration from my husband, Kostas (who put’s the “Kos” in Kosterina), after years of enjoying EVOO pressed from our families’ olive trees in Southern Greece. We could never find a proper substitute here in the States for the fresh, delicious Greek EVOO we knew and loved, so we partnered with farmers in the region to develop a premium, delicious Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil for the US market.
As we began development, I became an olive oil sommelier and, in addition to learning more about what makes a delicious and healthy EVOO, discovered that the majority of the olive oils here in the US are not what they say they are. We decided to focus efforts on making an EVOO that is authentically Mediterranean, delicious to smell, taste, and cook with, and, above all, loaded with health benefits. This same ethos has permeated all of our product development since, even beyond EVOO.”

Today Show Tasting Box Trio – Retail: $68.50
Kosterina specializes in high antioxidant early harvest extra virgin olive oil from Southern Greece. Their oil is 100% koroneiki olives and harvested early in order to maximize polyphenol content. This year’s Kosterina harvest registered 470 mg/kg of polyphenol content. You need to have a polyphenol content of 55 mg/kg to be deemed extra virgin (and most grocery store oils don’t even get that high). Kosterina have 9x the antioxidant content of the average grocery store olive oil. Kosterina offers an Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 2 flavored olive oils: Greek Herb & Lemon and Garlic. All are made with their Original EVOO and infused with a hint of herb, lemon, or garlic oils native to the Mediterranean. My favorite was the Greek Herb which was perfect on every dish I cooked.
EVOO Dark Chocolate Mezze Box – $39.95
Kosterina also sells EVOO Dark Chocolate. This is unique because the antioxidants naturally occurring in dark chocolate are amplified by the antioxidants found in EVOO when they are combined. Making it a bar of healthy chocolate that is extremely delicious. There are 3 flavors, all inspired by the Mediterranean and sourced using organic ingredients: Almond Butter & Vanilla; Nuts, Cinnamon & Honey; Fig & Balsamic. The Cinnamon & Honey was my family’s favorite.
