Product Description
Chryso Kioupi: Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The Heritage
Chryso Kioupi is a premium extra virgin olive oil crafted by the Voulistiotis family (Petros & Ioannis O.E.) based in Neos Oropos, Preveza. Deeply rooted in the fertile lands of northwestern Greece, this family-owned estate blends time-honored traditions with modern bottling standards. The brand name, which translates to "Golden Amphora," reflects both the liquid gold within and the rich agricultural history of the region.
Variety & Microclimate
The oil is extracted primarily from the Lianolia Kerkyras olive variety, native to the Ionian coast and Preveza. This unique variety thrives in the region's coastal breeze and mild winters. It produces a robust, complex olive oil known for its deep green hue and exceptional longevity.

- Milling: Mechanical cold extraction takes place within hours of harvest at temperatures below 27°C.
- Storage: The oil settles in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks under nitrogen to prevent oxidation.
