Ariston's Greek EVOO is produced in the Messinia region of Greece by the Doukas Family and local cooperatives. It's our flagstaff product that we've been bringing in to the US Market since 1997! (Also available bulk, Ariston item # 110)
This oil is exceptionally low in acidity (0.2- 0.4%), resulting in a high quality extra virgin olive oil, which has a smooth, well rounded olive-fruit taste with buttery finish safe from any acidic aftertaste.
500 ml (16.9 oz). Has been winning domestic & international awards since 2001. Recently won Gold in 2022 NY International Olive oil Competition. https://bestoliveoils.org/brands/ariston-specialties As well as Platinum in 2023 Dubai International Taste Awards!
For our EVOO it is a cold-pressed, single-origin, monovarietal option; we offer our Ariston Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This oil is produced in Gargalianoi, Messinia, Greece, using the koroneiki olive, which is native to our region and naturally high in polyphenols (ranging from 700 to 1000 mg/kg).
We do not add any polyphenols—unlike some companies that do this to inflate their numbers for trending shots of extra virgin olive oil on social media—because adding them would adulterate the natural extra virgin olive oil and result in a bitter taste. This is similar to oversteeping green tea; while the antioxidants in green tea are beneficial, too much can create a bitter flavor.
Our extra virgin olive oil is made as nature intended, from an early harvest that takes place each fall in Greece. We are a small family-owned and operated company, with my sister and uncle involved in the production in Greece, while we distribute our products to all 50 U.S. states from our office and warehouse in Connecticut since 1997. We have loyal retail customers who continue to support the Ariston brand and our refill program. This growth was driven by word of mouth long before interest surged, and the rest is history.
Our Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil has won numerous awards locally in CT, around in the U.S from NYC, Fort Lauderdale FL, to Los Angeles, CA, and internationally from Montreal, London, Dubai, Tokyo Athens Greece.
