What makes Kofinas Olive Oil different from other olive oils?

Why Kofinas Stands Apart

Not all olive oil is created equal. Here’s how store-bought olive oil compares to Kofinas Olive Oil.

	Store-Bought		Why It Matters
Polyphenol (Antioxidant) Content	Average of 100-250mg/kg	Greater than 600mg/kg polyphenol content	Polyphenols fight inflammation and reduce the risk of chronic disease
Acidity Level	Between 0.8 and 1.0% Standard	0.2-0.4%5× purer	Lower acidity means purer taste & longer shelf life
Freshness	Older, unknown harvest date	Always the freshest harvest	Newest harvest means peak flavor and health benefits
Single Origin	Sometimes. Often blended from multiple sources	Always fron Stavies, Crete. 100% Koroneiki	Blends often combine leftover, low-quality olives

Why Kofinas Stands Apart

Don't just take our word for it, see why families across America choose Kofinas for authentic Greek flavor.

Just found this business here in Cinci so went over and dropped in the store today. Nick was right there, totally enthusiastic to talk about the quality products and offered me a sample of the extra-virgin oil from a freshly opened bottle. I found the quality to be exceptional, even better than artisanal oil one can find in the rural Peloponnese. How fortunate we locals are to have this so close at hand!

~ Bill Mulert

I discovered this olive oil several years algo while visiting a friend in Covington, KY. For years, I have made her buy it for me and ship it to me (or picked it up when I’ve visited again). I live in Atlanta, Georgia and am overjoyed that I can now order it online! The best avocado is toast is avocado mixed with Citrus Infused Olive Oil and some salt! I also use it sauteing vegetables.

~ Meredith Burke Hammons

So impressed with Kofinas! I found a balsamic vinegar while I was in Greece and assumed once I returned to the states that I’d never have it again. I searched online and Kofinas had it in stock. I ordered a case and it was shipped out in less than a day! Their prompt service and great selection are amazing! Thank you!!!

~ Katie Gaddy

We really enjoyed speaking with Nick about families and oils. The professionalism and knowledge of the items is wonderful to know. Purchasing items has certainly added to our taste palate of flavorful goodness. Thank you for the delicious tastings of the merchandise. We will be back!

~ Debra Hatcher

I love Kofinas Olive Oil, have been using it multi times a week for years now.

~ Chris Loredo

I have bought from them before & we loved the taste & numerous ways to use the olive oils I bought! Will buy from them again.

~ Leila Kline

So glad to be able to enjoy the best olive oil, even though we don't live there anymore.

~ Wayne Hall

Always enjoy chatting with the owners and tasting samples of the flavored balsamic vinegars!

~ Carolyn Collette

Wonderful experience dealing with Kofina's Olive Oil at Findlay Market. I WILL be returning. EXCELLENT product and such FRIENDLY service.

~ Peggy Jezek

All of the oils and vinegars I have tried are phenomenal. you can't beat the quality and the fact we know exactly where the products come from gives an ease of mind not always had these days.

~ Kelli MamaLlama Cordray

Best olive oil anywhere. Cincinnati is so lucky to have this! and we are very glad we can still order online.
