High-Polyphenol (558 mg/kg) · Early Harvest · Single Origin Greece · Monovarietal Koroneiki
A bold, early-harvest extra virgin olive oil crafted from Koroneiki olives grown in the region of Ancient Olympia, Greece. Intensely aromatic with a lively, peppery finish, this award-winning oil is naturally rich in polyphenols and reflects both the character of its origin and the care of a fourth-generation olive-growing family.
Why This Oil Stands Out
Exceptionally high polyphenol content: 558 mg/kg — more than 2 times the level required to meet the European Health Claim* threshold.
Naturally rich in hydroxytyrosol polyphenols: powerful antioxidants found in early-harvest olive oils.
Single origin & monovarietal: made exclusively from Koroneiki olives, a variety known for intensity, complexity, and stability.
Award-winning quality: produced with careful harvesting and processing to preserve freshness, flavor, and nutritional value.
Fully traceable via QR code: each bottle features a My ID Project QR code connecting you to harvest data, lab results, certificates, awards, and more.
Produced in Ancient Olympia: grown and made by a fourth-generation Greek family in the western Peloponnese.
Flavor Profile
Aroma: fresh, green, vibrant
Taste: robust, herbaceous, pleasantly bitter
Finish: pronounced peppery kick, typical of fresh high-phenolic olive oil
Best Enjoyed With
Vegetables, salads, and legumes
Fresh bread and dipping
Finishing dishes where flavor matters
Also ideal as a premium everyday cooking oil. Thanks to its high polyphenol content and stability, this oil performs beautifully in the kitchen — whether sautéing, roasting, or incorporating into daily meals.
For those who prefer to cook with olive oil rather than more processed alternatives, this is a versatile and practical choice that balances quality and everyday usability. It also offers an excellent way to enjoy a premium Greek extra virgin olive oil more generously in everyday cooking.

This is a great product so instead of ordering one at a time I decided to order 3. Unfortunately the packaging wasn't as good as with a single can. All 3 cans were damaged in shipping. They are still usable & the outside box appeared intact but somewhere along the line they got crushed. FYI My Greek Basket.
Store owner replied:
Thank you very much for letting us know, and we are truly sorry the tins arrived dented. We are glad the oil itself is still usable, but we agree that our customers should receive the product in beautiful condition as well. We have already shared this feedback with the producer and are reviewing the packaging for multi-tin shipments. We appreciate your kind words about the oil and your helpful feedback.
We love all the Olympian Myth products—and the prices are the same as what we paid in Greece directly from their olive groves. Very high quality products and My Greek Basket delivers them safely to our door! ❤️
I have been purchasing this particular olive oil directly from the manufacturer for years so excited to be able to get it from the Greek basket. It is very special.
I have been to Franca Magrini's Agriturismo for many years when I've been in Olympia and know the family now! Therefore, I have thoroughly enjoyed that olive oil for years and years......even ordered it during the Covid year and beyond for my friends who also love it, but had to stop last year when the shipping got to be exorbitant (dollar to euro problem!). Thank you for carrying her family's outstanding EVOO!!! At least one of my friends has now ordered the same from you. :-)
This olive oil is one of the best I have ever had, and I've had many Greek olive oils! It comes from the Peleponnesus, near Ancient Olympia, and is the highest quality! Been using it for about 6 or 7 years and I plan to continue..... :-)
I recently went to Greece and toured this olive oil producer. Unfortunately I only bought a small can there and needed more!
They produce high quality olive oil.
So to be honest this review is about My Greek Basket, not the olive oils we purchased. We knew we liked the oils because we’d taken a trip to Greece a couple of years ago and actually visited the olive farm where they’re made and had a tasting. We bought a number of them and brought them home. Used them sparingly and finally … realized we were about to ran out.
Imagine the very pleasant surprise of learning that we didn’t have to order more straight from Greece and that My Greek Basket carried them. The prices were good and our shipment actually came before we ran dry.
Thank you My Greek Basket we will be ordering from you again!
I originally bought this olive oil while on vacation in Greece. I had several sent back home to me and love it. I was sad when I opened my last one, but was surprised to learn that I could order it and have it sent without paying the over seas shipping costs. I love this olive oil and will continue buying it.
The order git to us within a week and we are very satisfied with the product.
This is the second time my wife has ordered this product before and liked it so much she ordered it again.
I'm on my 3rd "bottle" of Olymythos Robust. I love the taste of it in oil & vinegar dressing and use it with butter for morning egg cooking. In the 5 mos since I've been using it exclusively (cutting out all known seed oils) my blood cholesterol panel has improved & my doctor attributes it to the OO! Thank you!!
I've been using OLYMYTHOS since I first visited their grove. It is so nice to have found an American distributor for this amazing olive oil. It shipped quickly and packaged securely. I highly recommend this olive oil and My Greek Basket!
This is our favorite unflavored oil! We visited the Olive Temple and sampled all of their flavors and each was delicious. You can’t go wrong with any of their oils. My Greek Basket has amazing customer service too and we’re so grateful they provide these excellent oils stateside!
I’ve been using this olive oil for over 5 years. I visited the olive farm that produces it and witnessed the commitment and care executed in order to produce a superior product. It’s delicious and I use it on salads, dipping and have gifted it to family members.
Love, Love, Love the Olymythos Robust olive oil. Also love the Laurel & Flame. I tend to use the Olymythos Robust more than the Laurel & Flame since it’s a bit more mild. Just depends upon what I’m eating it with. Both are fantastic!!
I was advised to start mediterranean diet & to make sure to get a very good olive oil. A friend had actually visited the grove where these oils are made . She has been buying this oil for years. I tried one bottle & am now a subscriber. It’s so delicious
I’ve tried many , many olive oils on my search for great ones. I finally found the perfect olive oil for me. I’m a return customer purchasing the “Myths of Ancient Olympia Koroneiki Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil, cold pressed, New Harvest”. It’s in the red can. I love that it is packaged in a can and not a bottle, since light damages olive oil. I consume this olive oil at just about every dinner. I put it on my veggies, fish, and pasta. I think I could very easily just drink it! The olive oils that can be purchased in the grocery stores are not worth buying at all. They’re usually a mix of oils from a number of different countries & in my opinion, not good & pricey for the low quality that they are. Myths of Ancient Olympia is top quality & absolutely delicious!
There are so many things I love about My Greek Basket…first the olive oil is Amazing! The prices are really good, and they frequently give discount codes. AND the shipping is faster than Amazon! I love how quick and easy it is to order my olive oil!
I had originally ordered a bottle of olive oil and after a couple of weeks I was still waiting on it. Somewhere, somehow, it got lost in transit. Victoria and her staff immediately sent out another bottle and it arrived yesterday. I couldn’t wait to run in and make a salad with it. It was wonderfully smooth and tasty, better than I even hoped for. Thank you Victoria for sending me another one. It wasn’t your fault it was lost nor was it your responsibility to replace it but you did. That’s customer service at its finest. I can’t wait to do business with you again. As far as the original bottle, it’s still missing in action and is floating in the vast sea of lost packages. Thank you again Victoria for everything. You rock!!!
Store owner replied:
Joe, so happy to know that you finally received your order and love our product. We do believe that our oils are of superior quality.
Order delays, not to mention lost orders, are not acceptable. Please, rest assured, we are doing whatever we can to avoid these situations in the future.
I can now see that the initial order was delivered as well. This way you will have two bottle of a premium olive oil to enjoy. I hope it can, in some way, compensate for a very late delivery of your initial order.
We look forward to having you as our customer in the future.
I would love to review this product but it’s been almost two weeks and I have yet to receive it. I look forward to its arrival and maybe I can give it a better review.
I visited this Olive grove and production facility in Greece. The olive oil is amazing, excellent quality and very delicious! Highly recommend purchasing any of their products! I brought some home from my trip to Greece but ordered more for gifts-everyone just loves it! Super flavor and the health benefits are great!
My sister went to Greece recently and toured this facility. She brought me back this olive oil. I was thrilled with it. Absolutely delicious. I was saddened when I finished it, but decided to google it and found this wonderful site!! I was so thrilled that I could purchase more! Thank you My Greek Basket! Would LOVE if you could sell Greek Honey as well.
Store owner replied:
Sharon, thank you so much for your review. We are happy to know that you love our product. It's precious that your sister had first-hand experience visiting the farm where the olive oil is made.
We pride ourselves on 100% transparent single origin of our products.
As for Greek honey, it's in our plans for the very near future. We think we have found one of the best organic Greek honey one can wish for. We hope we can offer it for sale in 2024.
Went to Greece and did a tour of the company. One of the best places we went to. Thank you
I learned of this oil when I visited the Olive Temple. My favorite is the garlic infused oil they make so am thrilled to find a place I can order these olive oils!
Store owner replied:
Thanks for your review, John! We love The Olive Temple and believe their oils are some of the best and healthiest in the world and we have tasted many. We are really privileged to be their US distributor. Sorry, we ran out of stock on your favorite oil, garlic. We expect it to be back for sale in about 3 weeks. We look forward to your patronage!
Another great olive oil from My Greek Basket! Robust flavor with a lot of richness and earthinest of a single variety of Greek Koroneiki olives. LOVE IT!
