Tsounati Monovarietal Mountain Organic Olive Oil — 500ml Bottle

Product description

This oil is produced exclusively from Tsounati olives cultivated organically in the higher-elevation groves around Chania, Crete. Only this single cultivar is used, offering a consistent varietal character from tree to bottle.

Fruits were harvested and immediately cold-pressed at low temperature after the November 2025 harvest to preserve volatile aromatics. The result is a concentrated extra-virgin with distinct fresh-green notes and a lively mouthfeel.

Aroma and taste lean toward olive leaf, peppery rocket and green banana; the midpalate is characteristically bitter and substantial, with a long, stinging pepper finish that lingers at the back of the throat.

Use it raw as a finishing touch where a single variety can be appreciated: drizzle over fava, grilled lamb chops, charred peppers, a wedge of sheep’s milk cheese, or a slice of country bread sprinkled with sea salt.

This bottling won Gold at the 2025 Athena International Olive Oil Competition and was laboratory-certified at 2,081 mg/kg total phenols for the November 2025 harvest. The product is presented in a 500 ml dark glass bottle; keep it upright, cool and away from light, and reseal the cap after each use.

Pros

  • High measured phenolic content (2,081 mg/kg)
  • Single-variety Tsounati for clear varietal expression
  • Robust, fresh green and peppery flavor ideal for finishing

Cons

  • Bold bitterness and pepper may be intense for some palates
  • Requires cool, dark storage to maintain quality
  • Batch-specific lab reports are not always included with the package

VerdictA concentrated, single-variety Greek extra-virgin for people who want vivid green fruit and a pronounced peppery finish. Certified at a high phenolic level for the November 2025 harvest, it excels as a finishing oil on beans, grilled meats, roasted peppers, aged sheep cheese or simply bread and sea salt. The bottle and presentation are premium; buyers who prize freshness and robust flavor will app

    Fresh harvest — happy buyer

    Received my bottle today: harvest Oct 2026, best before Aug 2027. Very happy with it!

  2. Chris 3/5

    Would like lab confirmation

    Needs a batch lab analysis; the flavor didn’t read as obviously high in polyphenols to me.

  3. MARC DAGUANNO 5/5

    One of the best I've tried

    Worth the price. One of the best-tasting olive oils I’ve had.

  4. Fact Checker 1/5

    Phenolic claim vs. batch data mismatch

    I received Lot 251124 (Harvest Oct 2023) and found the advertised phenolic figures didn’t match the documentation for this bottle. Packaging is premium, but I asked for the lot-specific HPLC/NMR report and it wasn’t provided; only generic marketing material came with the bottle.

  5. Mark Beringer 5/5

    Very pleased

    Excellent oil — really enjoyed it. Thank you!

  6. Naturalkinkz 5/5

    Authentic taste from Greece

    Tastes like the bottle I bought in Crete — genuine and delicious. Hoping the long transit and varied storage climates don’t diminish it.

  7. Zig 5/5

    Solid integrity and high polyphenols

    Impressive product integrity — very high polyphenol level at a fair price. Arrived quickly from Cyprus and the bright, fresh taste confirms it was picked young and processed right.

  8. Carlos Graus valdera 4/5

    Llegó a tiempo, pequeño daño en embalaje

    Llegó en el tiempo indicado con las especificaciones, solo una objeción: la cajita estaba despegada y el precinto del pico ligeramente rasgado.
