In a world saturated with complex wellness trends and confusing ingredient lists, making healthy choices can feel overwhelming. Kosterina, a Mediterranean wellness brand founded by Katerina Mountanos, is on a mission to simplify health by offering products that are pure, purposeful, and transparent. Their latest innovation, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Shot, embodies this mission perfectly, delivering a potent dose of wellness in one simple, daily sip.

The Kosterina Mission: Trust and Transparency

Kosterina was born from founder Katerina Mountanos’s connection to her family’s home in Southern Greece, where she learned the true taste and power of authentic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Her vision was to create a brand that empowers families to live healthier, more delicious lives by providing products they can trust. This philosophy drives every decision, from sourcing to packaging.

The core problem Kosterina addresses is the widespread misinformation in the food and supplement industry. Many products marketed as “healthy” contain long lists of processed ingredients. Kosterina cuts through the noise by focusing on single-origin, clean superfoods. With the new EVOO Shot, they offer a solution that is powered by nature, backed by science, and presented in its purest form.

One Shot, Whole-Body Benefits

The Kosterina Extra Virgin Olive Oil Shot is more than just olive oil; it’s a functional wellness ritual. Designed for a single daily serving, this shot is packed with health-supportive polyphenols—powerful antioxidants known to support gut, metabolic, heart, skin, and immune health.

What truly sets this oil apart is its exceptional polyphenol content, boasting over 1,000 mg/kg. This potency is achieved by using organic, early-harvest olives that are cold-pressed to preserve their nutritional integrity. This high concentration is what gives the oil its signature bold, peppery taste. That distinct kick you feel at the back of your throat isn’t just a sign of its flavor—it’s tangible proof that the polyphenols are active and working. To further enhance its credibility, the shot was developed in partnership with Kosterina’s advisor, Dr. William Li, a renowned medical doctor and a pioneer in the “food as medicine” movement.

The Kosterina Advantage: A Cut Above the Rest

While many olive oils are available, Kosterina has carved out a unique space by focusing on function, quality, and transparency.

  • Function-First Format: Unlike oils intended solely for cooking, this shot is designed as a convenient, no-fuss wellness ritual.
  • Uncompromising Quality: Kosterina uses high-phenolic, organic EVOO and is committed to safe packaging. Their products are always in opaque glass or tins—never plastic, which can compromise the oil’s quality and safety.
  • Radical Transparency: Consumers are often unsure which olive oils are genuinely high-quality. Kosterina eliminates the guesswork by posting its EVOO’s chemical analysis online, giving customers full confidence in their choice.

This holistic approach is part of Kosterina’s broader vision to be the most trusted Mediterranean lifestyle brand for the modern wellness consumer, proving that what’s healthy can also be incredibly delicious.
