Bold, resinous, deeply aromatic — the herb of the Mediterranean hillside, pressed into the oil. Produced by Ariston Specialties — a four-generation Greek family olive oil producer from the Messinia region of Greece, operating in the US from Bloomfield, Connecticut. Featured in Doug Singer's \"Gastronomes' Guide to Culinary Excellence\" (2025).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAriston's name comes from the ancient Greek \"παν μέτρον άριστον\" — the very best. In Greece, rosemary grows wild on the same hillsides as olive trees, and the two have been paired in cooking for centuries. Ariston's rosemary infusion is natural — no extracts, no artificial flavoring — so the pine-like, earthy fragrance of the herb comes through in every drop, woven into a smooth, full-bodied cold-pressed Greek EVOO base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the oil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Koroneiki extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Messinia, Peloponnese, Greece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural rosemary — no artificial flavoring, no extracts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-generation family producer; traditional methods, no industrial refining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.45 fl oz (250ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resinous rosemary with warm, earthy olive oil — immediately Mediterranean\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold and herbaceous — pine-like rosemary against the fruity richness of Greek EVOO\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and lingering — the rosemary stays with you\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted potatoes\u003c\/strong\u003e — toss generously before roasting; rosemary and potato is one of the great Mediterranean pairings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLamb\u003c\/strong\u003e — use as a marinade base or finishing drizzle for roasted or grilled lamb chops, rack, or leg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFocaccia\u003c\/strong\u003e — drizzle over the dough before baking and again just after it comes out of the oven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted vegetables\u003c\/strong\u003e — toss root vegetables, eggplant, or zucchini before roasting for a fragrant herbal crust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrilled fish\u003c\/strong\u003e — drizzle over whole fish or fillets just before serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBread dipping\u003c\/strong\u003e — pour into a shallow dish with sea salt and cracked pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeans and legumes\u003c\/strong\u003e — stir into white beans, lentils, or chickpeas for a rustic Mediterranean side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProducer \u0026amp; heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAriston Specialties is a Greek-American family business with four generations of olive oil production in the Messinia region of the Peloponnese.
