ULTRA-LOW ACIDITY

Our oil has 0.2%-0.4% acidity (well below the 0.8% extra virgin standard). This ultra-low acidity preserves powerful polyphenol antioxidants, delivering superior flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits.

COLD-PRESSED WITHIN HOURS

Hand-picked at dawn when polyphenols peak, then cold-pressed below 27°C within hours. This immediate pressing preserves delicate flavors and antioxidants—the way our family has done it for generations.

FROM OUR GROVES TO YOUR TABLE

Every bottle comes from our family estate in Crete, where we've grown Koroneiki olives for three generations. Not factory-made, just oil crafted with devotion by a family who prioritizes quality above all.

Most Asked Questions

READ ALL FAQ
Should I store my olive oil in the refrigerator so that it lasts longer?

This is not at all necessary. A dark place without moisture is the optimal location to store your oil. Keep your extra bottles of Mt. Kofinas olive oil in a cool, dark place like a pantry closet. Sunlight and moisture are two things that can harm your olive oil. However, olive oil can be used as a natural preservative. By its nature, olive oil is fairly stable and certainly is delicious for many years.
 I forgot my olive oil in my freezing car overnight and now the olive oil is cloudy white. Did my olive oil spoil?

No, it just turned to a solid. After being in room temperature for a while it will return to it’s original state. Trust us, it will still taste great.
There’s pulp at the bottom of my olive oil, does this mean that it went bad?

No, our olive oil is natural and unfiltered so with time the fruit particles may settle. Mix the oil by tipping the bottle before using so it is evenly dispersed.
Can I cook with the olive oil?

Yes, people have been cooking with olive oil for thousands of years. As part of the Mediterranean diet this is the main ingredient and cooking method of most dishes. It also gives a great taste to the food and helps infuse flavors.
Can I fry with olive oil?

Yes, it is actually a great oil to use because it stands up well since the smoking temperature (380˚F – 400˚F) is above the ideal frying temperature (350˚F-365˚F). The reason olive oil is not commonly used in frying is based on cost. Out of the available oils, olive oil is among the most expensive, but also the most delicious.
If I fry with olive oil, will the olive oil change from a “good fat” to a “bad fat” ?

Extra virgin olive oil is a great source of poly-unsaturated fats. Simply frying with olive oil will not change the chemical composition. Your extra virgin olive oil will NOT change into a saturated fat, or a trans fat.

Chipotle Spicy Olive Oil

Learn More

Bold, smoky, and slow to build, Kofinas Chipotle Infused Olive Oil brings real heat and bold flavor to everyday cooking. Each bottle starts with our cold-pressed Koroneiki extra virgin olive oil from Crete and is infused in-house with dry chipotle chili peppers, basil, thyme, and bay leaf. Pour generously over the dishes you already love and let the smoke do the rest.

What Is Chipotle Infused Olive Oil?

Chipotle Infused Olive Oil is a smoky, spicy olive oil made by steeping dry chipotle chili peppers, basil, thyme, and bay leaf into a Single Origin, Monovarietal Koroneiki extra virgin olive oil from the Messara Valley in Crete. The base oil is cold-pressed below 80°F within hours of harvest, which preserves the 500mg/kg and above polyphenol content and the low 0.2% to 0.3% acidity that gives Kofinas olive oil its quality, taste, and flavor.

Every flavor in our infused olive oil collection is made independently in small batches at our Montgomery Infusion Kitchen in Cincinnati. We never mix two infused oils to create a third, and we only use dry spices in every bottle.

The result is a clean, honest infused oil built on the same single-origin Koroneiki EVOO base that four generations of the Manousakis-Semertzides family have been pressing from their olives in Crete. Bold heat, real spice, and a hot, smoky oil you can cook with every day.

How to Use Chipotle Infused Olive Oil

Chipotle Infused Olive Oil works in almost any recipe where you want a smoky, spicy layer of flavor. It holds up beautifully to heat, so you can cook with it the same way you would use plain extra virgin olive oil.

Try it in these meals and dishes:

  • Soups and stews: stir into a pot of chili, tomato soup, or black bean stock for warmth and depth.
  • Pizza and pasta: drizzle over the crust before baking, or toss with pasta for an instant spicy kick.
  • Stir fry and sautés: delicious with chicken, shrimp, or roasted vegetables.
  • Casseroles and rice dishes: stir into baked pasta, enchiladas, or grain bowls.
  • Marinades: brush onto ribs, steak, or grilled vegetables before they hit the heat.
  • Dipping and finishing: pour into a small dish with sea salt for warm bread, or drizzle over hummus, morning eggs, salads, and roasted potatoes for a quick dip.

A few helpful tips: a little goes the perfect amount of the way, the taste deepens with heat, and the bottle is built to be poured often. Olive oil is the everyday all-purpose oil, and this chili oil belongs on your table.

Best Pairings for Chipotle Infused Olive Oil

The smoky heat of Chipotle Infused Olive Oil works best when paired with something sweet and fruit-forward. Two pairings from our balsamic lineup bring out the best in this bottle.

  • Raspberry Aged Dark Balsamic: rich, jammy, and bright. The tart raspberry softens the heat and adds a sweet, syrupy finish to marinades, glazes, and grilled meats.
  • Fig Greek Balsamic Vinegar: earthy and honey-like with deep fig sweetness. A natural match for ribs, pork, roasted vegetables, and cheese boards.

Whisk either one with a few tablespoons of Chipotle Infused Olive Oil for a fast salad dressing, a steak marinade, or a glaze for grilled chicken. You can also drizzle Chipotle Infused Olive Oil straight onto a hot slice for a smoky, spicy pizza experience that wakes up the whole pie. Both bottles also make a great gift, especially in our sampler gift sets, and shipping is fast from our Cincinnati kitchen.
