Kouzina Olive Oil
Just north of Boston, Kouzina stands as a cherished family-owned Greek restaurant, a living testament to the immigrant success story. Originally hailing from Kalamata, Greece, Penny & Jimmy Christopher established deep roots in both Massachusetts and their homeland. Driven by a genuine passion to introduce others to the beauty of Greece, they curated two exceptional dining experiences in the Boston area – Kouzina in Peabody and Gyro City in Brighton.
Embedded within the local community and deeply connected to their home country, Penny & Jimmy retain partial ownership of an olive grove in Greece. Recognizing the unparalleled quality of fresh olive oil, they chose to import their own, sourced directly from their olive grove. Penny’s love for her homeland shines through every bottle, infusing the dishes she prepares with a true tase of her own Greece. When you can manage to keep her out of the kitchen for more than five minutes, she’ll have you daydreaming of joining her on one of her many trips back home.
With a legacy steeped in generations of artisanal expertise, their extra virgin olive oil seems to have bottled the essence of Greece itself – a golden embodiment of sunshine and love. Handpicked Kalamata olives undergo cold pressing just hours after harvesting, resulting in an olive oil boasting remarkably low acidity and certified bio-organic credentials. Each drop of their olive oil promises to elevate any dish it graces.
