Four generations of the same family have been harvesting Koroneiki olives, cold-pressing them without chemicals or industrial refining. The lemon infusion is natural — the vibrant essence of fresh lemons balanced against the oil's smooth, full-bodied character. The Kalamata region is one of Greece's most celebrated olive-growing areas, producing Koroneiki with a distinct fruity, peppery profile that pairs naturally with citrus.\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 Kalamata region, Peloponnese, Greece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural lemon — no artificial flavoring\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\u003eAwards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Medal — 2021 Taste Olymp Award Competition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSalad dressings\u003c\/strong\u003e — use neat or with white balsamic for a bright Mediterranean vinaigrette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeafood\u003c\/strong\u003e — drizzle over grilled fish, shrimp, or scallops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePasta\u003c\/strong\u003e — toss with pasta, capers, and Parmesan for a quick lemon aglio e olio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted vegetables\u003c\/strong\u003e — finish roasted asparagus, zucchini, or potatoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChicken\u003c\/strong\u003e — brush on in the last 10 minutes of roasting for a bright, citrus finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlatbread\u003c\/strong\u003e — brush on before baking for a Mediterranean aroma and flavour\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 Kalamata region of the Peloponnese — one of Greece's most important olive-growing regions.
