 Kosterina Launches Ultra Premium Olive Oil Nationwide in Target

The Expansion Marks a Milestone Growth Moment for the Fast-Growing Mediterranean Lifestyle Brand as it Becomes the First Premium Olive Oil Offering in Target

NEW YORK, NY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 – Kosterina, the one-stop destination for Mediterranean food and beauty products, makes its debut in 600+ Target stores across the country. As Target’s first offerings in the Premium Olive Oil category, Kosterina’s organic Premium Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Spicy Red Pepper Olive Oil are available both in-store and on Target.com. The retail expansion marks a milestone growth moment for the fast-growing Mediterranean lifestyle brand, which is already available in Whole Foods and Crate & Barrel nationwide, and has more than 20 award-winning products, including its recently launched Organic Snacking Olives (recently named a Men’s Health 50 Best Food Products of 2024), Cucumber Lemon Balsamic Vinegar, and more. 

Founded by Greek-American olive oil sommelier and Mediterranean lifestyle expert Katerina (Katina) Mountanos, Kosterina is known for their signature, high-antioxidant extra virgin olive oils offered at Target as Organic “Premium Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil.” Kosterina’s extra virgin olive oils are made with 100% Koroneiki olives, which are harvested in southern Greece while they’re still green, allowing for a higher concentration of polyphenols. These are powerful antioxidants that are known to protect against the development of chronic diseases, resulting in a more healthful and complex flavored olive oil that has built a cult-following and is consistently ranked as one of the best olive oils on the market (one of which was recently named SELF Pantry Award Winner).

Kosterina products launching in Target include the below, available in new beautiful, safe and convenient tin packaging:

• Organic Premium Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Kosterina’s hero product, their Premium Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a naturally bold, peppery flavor that elevates any dish. The olives are cold pressed the same day they’re picked, meaning the fresh, aromatic flavor is bottled up instantly. 
• Spicy Red Pepper Olive Oil - A flavored olive oil made with Kosterina’s signature EVOO combined with red pepper oil, Kosterina’s Spicy Red Pepper Olive Oil has a balanced heat that will not overpower, and it is perfect for cooking and roasting vegetables or drizzling atop pizza, eggs, avocado toast and more. 

“Kosterina’s partnership with Target allows us to reach more consumers than ever before” , says Kosterina’s founder Katina Mountanos. "We’re honored that the Target team has trusted Kosterina to be its ultra premium olive oil partner, giving us the chance to bring this high-quality, healthful superfood into more homes and kitchens across the country.”

Originally founded in 2020, Kosterina helped launch the premium olive oil category in the US, and continues to be a leader in that category today, while expanding into a cross-category lifestyle brand embracing the Mediterranean lifestyle. In addition to their olive oil offerings, Kosterina recently introduced organic jarred olives, Cucumber Lemon Balsamic Vinegar, and Walnut Balsamic Vinegar, to their product line, all of which are available on Kosterina.com.
