In this episode of Greece Chats I am joined by Katerina Mountanos. Katerina is the founder of Kosterina.
Kosterina is the one-stop destination for the best parts of the Mediterranean lifestyle, offering premium Mediterranean-sourced food products, a natural olive oil-based skincare line and healthful recipes and cookbooks.
Kosterina’s hero product and original inspiration for the brand is its best-selling early harvest cold pressed Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil, made with 100% Koroneiki olives, considered some of the best olives in the world. Sourced from farmers in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece (near where Katerina’s family is from), Kosterina intentionally harvests their olives early, while they’re still green, which allows for a higher concentration of polyphenols: powerful antioxidants that are known to protect against the development of chronic diseases. The result is their more healthful and complex flavored olive oil that has built a cult-following, and is consistently ranked as one of the best olive oils on the market.
Building off the success of their original EVOO, Kosterina also offers a variety of premium balsamic vinegars, innovative crushed fruit vinegars, olive-oil based beauty products (from face moisturizer to balms and deodorants),and has plans to continue expanding with additional food and beauty products that embrace simplicity, high quality and the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Kosterina products are available at Whole Foods markets nationally, Crate & Barrel, in select restaurants and specialty grocers, and their full collection can be found online at Kosterina.com.
