Studies have proven that a Mediterranean diet significantly reduces the risk for heart disease. People who fill their diet with fish, nuts, and lots olive oil have healthier, longer lives than the rest of us. Essentially, a great way to live healthier is by eating like the Greeks! The best way to do that is to start using the finest Greek olive oil. Greek Artisanal Imports delivers just that with their Euphoria Olive Oil. A taste of this olive oil will actually put you in a euphoric state! I made a delicious dressing for a kale salad with it. I just mixed the olive oil with some salt, pepper, and lime juice, and I ended up with a mouth-watering dressing. Make sure to use Euphoria Olive Oil in all your cooking, and the quality of your food and your health will improve!
Behind every bottle or tin of olive oil, there will be a story. About the region it comes from, the family who plants and cultivates it, and the romance of the olive itself. In the Peloponnesus, Euphoria is being put into tins for you your edible pleasure. Grown and processed in small batches, the oil follows a centuries old tradition. Air, light and sun kiss each olive, as the sustainable trees are planted widely apart, allowing breatheability. The flavor is both aromatic and green, and it boasts a peppery finish. The after bite lets you know that the oil is good for you. There are reams written about the good effects of olive oil for our systems. But in all the research, there will be an open ended invitation to taste. It's up to you to find that olive oil that speaks to you and your taste buds. Euphoria lends itself to cooking, drizzling, finishing a sale with its robust taste and flavor. This is an olive oil to use every day, to savor, and to love.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil has become incredibly trendy over the past few years but anyone with laudable taste knows it has always been in style. I absolutely love olive oil, and use it in nearly everything I cook or bake! The problem, though, is that many times, the products we find on our supermarket shelves in America are cheap, low quality, adulterated oils which horrifies Peachy Deegan beyond belief so she puts on her Paul Mayers and walks miles to find superior oil. I was thrilled when I received a bottle of Euphoria Extra Virgin Olive Oil to try. Imported by Greek Artisinal Imports in Astoria, NY, Euphoria Olive Oil has been produced by the Konstantopoulos Family in the Messinian region of Greece for over 10 generations! It is pressed within hours of the olives being harvested, and the oversees every step of the process, from growing the olives to getting the olive oil to your table! In order to really taste the olive oil, I didn't want to cook or bake with it the first time I used it, so I made a caprese salad with it. And really, the difference in taste between that and my "supermarket" olive oil was incredible - for one thing the supermarket olive oil has little to no taste. The taste Euphoria, though was rich and full, with a slightly spicy aftertaste. It's a vibrant green color, as opposed to the more yellow oils one might be used to, and emits a slightly grassy aroma. It was, in a word, outstanding - and it will definitely be my go-to olive oil from here on out!
Euphoria Olive Oil’s 500mL bottle is elegant enough to give as a gift, yet simple enough to keep on your counter and use with every meal. Once you taste it, you WILL be using it in everything you cook. This olive oil is unlike any I have ever tasted, yet somehow seems EXACTLY how olive oil should taste. Its light flavor enhances the taste of whatever it’s used with. I tried it in this simple summer salad – fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and avocado. The salad didn’t need anything other than a drizzle of this amazing, slightly grassy-flavored olive oil. It added just the right touch to this salad. Of course, adding balsamic vinegar and some garlic will turn it into a simple – yet delicious – salad dressing. You’ll never want to settle for any other olive oil again.

To be sure you are getting honest, top-quality olive oil, know your producer. Producing premium extra virgin olive oil is a time consuming labor of love. Unfortunately, there is a major problem with producers selling adulterated oils as top-quality extra virgin olive oils.
Our family is involved through the entire process of bringing Euphoria from our grove to your table. We are proud to be part of an olive oil tradition that hails back to ancient times.
Welcome to our family!
Ten generations...still the same amazing olive oil.
The Konstantopoulos family has been making this pure, fresh extra virgin olive oil in Siamou, Greece since the 1600s, passing down traditional, sustainable cultivation practices that have never harmed the environment. The Koroneiki olive is native to our land. This type of olive is ideally suited to our local growing conditions because it originated in Messinia, a fertile region in the southwest Peloponnese, and has been thriving here since antiquity.
The secret to Euphoria's unique taste is location. Our olive trees make up a small family grove in the foothills of Mount Taygetos, where excellent growing conditions provide full sun; lime-rich, well-draining soils; and long, dry summers for the fruits to fully ripen. This microclimate gives Euphoria its unique taste. You will find the same Koroneiki olive producing a considerably different flavor just ten miles over.
Care in our harvesting practices means quality oil. We harvest our olives by hand in December and early January when flavor components of the olive fruit have reached full maturity without compromising stability. We press the olives within hours to preserve their nutritional value and quality. Euphoria does not need to be blended with other olive oils to improve quality.
Euphoria is made from 100% Koroneiki olives whose natural qualities create a rare balance of fragrance, great flavor, high antioxidants, and stable shelf life within the same fruit. In fact, this varietal is often blended with low polyphenol oils to add longevity and flavor.
Our dark glass bottle protects Euphoria from the damaging effects of light. We realize you like to see what you are buying, but we wouldn't use olive oil that's been sitting in a clear glass bottle ourselves, and we won't sell it to you.
