ULTRA-LOW ACIDITY
Our oil has 0.2%-0.4% acidity (well below the 0.8% extra virgin standard). This ultra-low acidity preserves powerful polyphenol antioxidants, delivering superior flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits.
COLD-PRESSED WITHIN HOURS
Hand-picked at dawn when polyphenols peak, then cold-pressed below 27°C within hours. This immediate pressing preserves delicate flavors and antioxidants—the way our family has done it for generations.
FROM OUR GROVES TO YOUR TABLE
Every bottle comes from our family estate in Crete, where we've grown Koroneiki olives for three generations. Not factory-made, just oil crafted with devotion by a family who prioritizes quality above all.

This is not at all necessary. A dark place without moisture is the optimal location to store your oil. Keep your extra bottles of Mt. Kofinas olive oil in a cool, dark place like a pantry closet. Sunlight and moisture are two things that can harm your olive oil. However, olive oil can be used as a natural preservative. By its nature, olive oil is fairly stable and certainly is delicious for many years.

Yes, people have been cooking with olive oil for thousands of years. As part of the Mediterranean diet this is the main ingredient and cooking method of most dishes. It also gives a great taste to the food and helps infuse flavors.
Yes, it is actually a great oil to use because it stands up well since the smoking temperature (380˚F – 400˚F) is above the ideal frying temperature (350˚F-365˚F). The reason olive oil is not commonly used in frying is based on cost. Out of the available oils, olive oil is among the most expensive, but also the most delicious.
Extra virgin olive oil is a great source of poly-unsaturated fats. Simply frying with olive oil will not change the chemical composition. Your extra virgin olive oil will NOT change into a saturated fat, or a trans fat.
