Product description Ariston means “The Very Best” in Greek, a name that reflects our promise. Our story began with a passion for authentic flavors from our family groves in Greece and the traditional vinegar houses of Modena, Italy. From bread dipping to salads, grilled vegetables, fresh strawberries, or even vanilla gelato, our oils and vinegars bring Mediterranean excellence to every table—the true taste of the very best. Our extra virgin olive oil is made from hand-picked olives and cold pressed to preserve its naturally low acidity, the key to its rich golden color and delicate fruity taste. Our balsamic vinegar is aged in oak barrels, developing a smooth balance of sweetness and tang that enhances any dish. Awards - The Reason We Win So Many! Our products are made using the Koroneiki olive, native to our region in Greece. This is a single variety olive, and it contains only naturally occurring polyphenols, just as nature intended. Health Benefits: The high polyphenol content provides powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Flavor Profile: Polyphenols like oleocanthal give the oil its characteristic bitter and peppery notes. Stability: The high concentration of natural antioxidants contributes to a longer shelf life for the olive oil. Factors Influencing Polyphenol Content: Harvest Time: Olives that are harvested earlier, when they are still green and unripe, generally have higher polyphenol levels. Growing Conditions: Hot, arid climates where Koroneiki olives thrive contribute to the production of distinctive, robust and flavorful oils. Production Methods: Cold-pressing and careful handling help preserve these sensitive compounds.
