Our Mission
To market to discriminate palates a limited range of ecologically grown, personally selected, excellent tasting, Greek Olive Oil.
Greek Olive Oil
Greece is the world’s third largest producer of olive oil with a 20% share of global production, or about 400,000 metric tons annually. Greeks have not retailed their quality production to the world’s markets limiting exports in bottles to around 10,000 metric tons annually. Instead, they've been exporting their top extra virgin olive oil in bulk to Italian bottlers who seek to enhance the quality of their own brands.
Who Are We?
Ann and George Courmouzis currently reside in Athens, Greece and Beaufort, South Carolina. George, a former sports and leisure industry CEO, is a native Greek. Ann, a chef and restaurant consultant, is American born. “Together we are turning our hobby of searching out and enjoying the finest Greek olive oils into a full-time challenge to market our selections to North America and Europe."
MOLEON Extra Virgin Oils
Moleon offer two versions of amazing oil from the estate-like Cooperative of Molai, located in the southeastern Peloponnesus region of Lakonia, south of the historic city of Sparta. Extracted from the “Koroneiki” variety, it is cold pressed and unblended. The olive orchards of Molai are harvested late in the season (December to March) due to the area’s microclimate. Moleon also offers a blended oil of Koroneiki (80%) and Althenolia (20%) harvested in 8 different cooperatives in the same Laconia region. The resulting oils, pressed within hours from harvest, have unique sensory qualities and acidity levels consistently below 0,30%.
