Koutsis Organic Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Koutsis Organic Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Product of Zakynthos
This oil is similar to our Koutsis Premium Organic Cold Pressed Olive Oil, infact its a cross between this and the Petromilos Organic Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our oil is our present, past and future. It is connected to our religion and and a true indication of our culture. It’s use in our diets has been around for many of hundreds of years.
We collect our olives during the winter months from mid October to mid April when the harvest season has been a good one. It is not an easy task, it’s very laborious and takes a lot of effort from all helping. Weather conditions play a huge role to allow us to pick quickly. Rain can delay and halt the whole process for us.
Olive harvesting in Greece is the main agricultural product and it’s been around for hundreds of years and for over 8500 families, farming is their only source of income.
All our oil is harvested from our groves within 12 hours of collection and taken to our local olive press factory to be cold pressed. It is unfiltered, unrefined 100% virgin olive oil. Nothing is mixed into it but just pure olive oil which is pungent, fruity and nutty in flavour. The dark green colour and robust flavour make it very desirable in Greece and around the world.

Jo Salter –
We use a lot of olive oil in our house and I’m very picky about taste, quality and ethics. So it’s great to buy from Phil as we know the provenance of the oil, it’s lovely stuff AND he takes the tins away and refills them. Brilliant service.
