Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Kosterina is a consumer packaged goods brand built around early-harvest, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from southern Greece. Its catalog spans olive oil (including a 500ml "Original" high-polyphenol bottle at $32 and an "Extra Virgin Duo" cooking/drizzling pairing at $55), single-origin balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy, crushed fruit vinegars sold as a trio at $45, pitted and dry-packed organic olives hand-picked in Greece, bundles and gift sets, and an olive-oil-based skincare line.

The company also markets a wellness-oriented format, a one-month supply of daily extra virgin olive oil "shots" priced at $95-$98. Product positioning emphasizes monovarietal (unblended) oils, glass or tin packaging, third-party testing for purity and polyphenol content, and skincare formulated without parabens, sulfates or phthalates. The brand publishes recipes, interviews and educational content alongside its store.

Business model

Consumer product sales through the company's own online store, including one-time purchases and a subscription program offering 10% savings per order with the ability to swap, cancel or change products at any time. A store locator indicates products are also available at physical retail locations.

Revenue from sales of packaged food products (olive oil, vinegars, olives), skincare items, bundles and gift sets, and recurring subscription orders.

Market position

Go-to-market

Direct-to-consumer e-commerce with subscription retention offers, supported by content marketing (recipes, educational articles, interviews), customer reviews and endorsements from physicians, authors and chefs, plus retail distribution surfaced via an in-store finder.

Health- and wellness-oriented consumers interested in Mediterranean diet staples, high-polyphenol olive oil, and clean-ingredient food and skincare products.

Geography

Products are sourced from southern Greece (olive oil and olives) and Modena, Italy (balsamic vinegar), and sold online with a locator for nearby retail stores.
