Ariston Lemon-Infused Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Silver Medal 2021, Cold-Pressed Koroneiki, 8.45 fl oz

four-generation Greek family olive oil producer from the Kalamata region of Greece, operating in the US from Bloomfield, Connecticut. Featured in Doug Singer's "Gastronomes' Guide to Culinary Excellence" (2025). Ariston's name comes from the ancient Greek "παν μέτρον άριστον" — the very best. 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.
