Discover the Unparalleled Quality of Andriotis EVOO Kopos

Andriotis Kopos is known for its early-harvest timing and the distinctively robust polyphenol profile that results from olives pressed at their optimal, still-green moment of ripeness.

Curated by the Andriotis family trading house in Corfu, Kopos combines seven decades of olive oil selection expertise with rigorous laboratory and taste testing to create an extra virgin olive oil that is both authentic and consistently high quality. Each harvest, the family visits producers across Greece, collects samples, and selects only the oils that meet their standard for Kopos — a process closer to a curator’s eye than a single grower’s yield.

The Andriotis Family: From Agios Mattheos to Corfu, Since 1955

In 1955, Dimitris Andriotis left his village of Agios Mattheos in southern Corfu and moved to Corfu Town to open an olive oil shop on Mantzarou Street. What began as one man buying, weighing, and testing oil from local producers grew into a trading house that has now worked with hundreds of growers across Corfu and mainland Greece — from small producers with a few containers to larger operations selling by the ton.

Today the business is carried on by the next generation of the Andriotis family, still headquartered in Corfu, still built on the same process Dimitris started: visiting producers at the start of each crop year, collecting samples, and selecting oils through organoleptic and laboratory testing before anything earns the Kopos or Buteli name. It’s a family story built less on owning a single grove and more on seven decades of knowing exactly which groves, across an entire island and beyond, produce oil worth selecting.

andriotis history

A Ritual Rooted in the Corfu Olive Trade

Each bottle of Kopos reflects the Andriotis family’s decades of selection expertise and their reputation among Corfu’s olive oil producers for honesty and rigor.

  • Early-harvest Koroneiki olives selected for maximum polyphenol content
  • Chosen through organoleptic and laboratory testing each crop year, not bought blind
  • Sourced from carefully selected Greek groves rather than a single estate
  • Naturally low acidity, with a bold peppery finish
  • A trusted choice for people who value a family trading house’s seven decades of standards over a single farm’s marketing story

Andriotis Kopos brings together curatorial expertise, family reputation, and consistent quality control for people who want their olive oil selected with the same rigor a wine buyer applies to a vintage.

Kopos: Composition and Character

Rich in polyphenols and natural antioxidants, Andriotis Kopos is built around early-harvest timing rather than late-season yield. Its concentrated phenolic profile is a matter of picking olives while still green, which preserves more of the natural compounds that later-harvest, riper olives lose.

Rather than framing this as a set of health outcomes, here’s what the composition and process actually involve — the kind of detail that matters to people interested in the Mediterranean diet’s emphasis on high-quality, minimally processed olive oil.

BenefitDescription
Antioxidant SupportHigh polyphenol content from early-harvest Koroneiki olives helps support protection against oxidative stress.
Anti-inflammatory PotentialIts concentrated phenolic profile is especially valued by people seeking natural, food-based daily anti-inflammatory support.
Heart-Conscious WellnessKopos is chosen by consumers who want to support cardiovascular wellness through high-quality, polyphenol-rich olive oil intake.
Longevity RoutineEspecially popular among those focused on longevity, proactive health maintenance, and daily rejuvenation.

Its bold, peppery intensity and clean, grassy finish reflect the concentration of beneficial compounds in every serving. Kopos is often treated as a daily ritual rather than a cooking oil.

Daily Use for Wellness, Longevity, and Recovery

KOPOS is especially suited to people who prefer to use olive oil with intention every day. Many health-conscious consumers take a small amount raw in the morning or use it uncooked over meals so they can fully appreciate its flavor, freshness, and natural nutritional value.

This kind of use fits naturally into a lifestyle centered on prevention, Mediterranean balance, and consistent daily care. It also makes KOPOS a strong choice for active people who want clean, simple ingredients that support recovery and everyday vitality.

UseHow to Enjoy
Morning Wellness RitualTake a small amount each morning straight or with breakfast as part of a daily routine.
Raw Daily IntakeUse uncooked on salads, vegetables, soups, or grain bowls to preserve flavor and natural value.
Longevity RoutineEnjoy consistently in modest daily amounts as part of a Mediterranean lifestyle focused on long-term wellness.
Active RecoveryInclude in post-exercise meals with vegetables, legumes, or protein-focused dishes for everyday nutritional support.

Its balance of purity, nutritional value, and everyday versatility makes KOPOS ideal for people who see olive oil not simply as food, but as a meaningful part of daily wellness.

Sustainable and Ethical Farming Practices

Kopos is built around careful selection and disciplined testing, and the Andriotis organic range extends that philosophy through environmentally friendly practices based on organic farming principles for the Koroneiki variety. This gives the brand a stronger appeal for consumers who value both quality and responsible sourcing.

From cultivation and collection through testing and processing, the brand’s identity is grounded in effort, consistency, and trust — the same three qualities Dimitris Andriotis built his reputation on in 1955. That practical, quality-first approach is one of the reasons Kopos works well as both a gourmet label and a producer people trust to have actually checked the oil themselves.

Their approach

Kopos combines careful sourcing, rigorous testing, and protective packaging to create an olive oil made for people who want purity and confidence in what they consume. Every bottle reflects the family’s belief that meaningful quality comes from work, discipline, and respect for the product — the literal meaning of the name “Kopos.”

Choosing Kopos means choosing an olive oil shaped by seven decades of Corfiot know-how and a family trading house that still tests every batch by hand.
