A Note From Tamara
The story of Agape Premium began 15 years ago when Demetra Kontoulis Bouras and her husband Athanasios Bouras started producing premium extra virgin olive oil using Koroneiki olives grown in her family’s groves in the fertile plains of Messinia, Greece — an area renowned for high-quality olive oil production. Each year, Demetra traveled to Greece for the olive harvest, where her family used traditional methods to create their pure, fresh, and premium product.
Demetra brought the popular Kontoulis Family Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil to farmers' markets across Westchester County, New York, gaining a loyal following of local customers who appreciated the early harvest and hand-bottled product that enriched their cooking with robust flavors and health benefits.
After years of dedication, Demetra and her husband Athanasios retired to spend more time in their beloved Greece. In early 2024, Tamara, who had worked closely with the couple for five years, took charge of the business following their retirement.
With this transition, the brand was renamed Agape Premium. Agape (άγάπη pronounced ah-GAH-pay) is the Greek word for unconditional love, symbolizing the passion and care we put into our products, as well as our deep connection with our customers and the source of our olive oil.
Agape Premium continues to deliver the same high-quality extra virgin olive oil, sourced directly from Kontoulis family groves in Greece to your table. We are thrilled to share our premium products with you and your family, whether you shop with us online or visit us at the weekly farmers' markets throughout Westchester County, New York.

Grove-to-Table Journey of Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our extra virgin olive oil is cold-pressed from Koroneiki olives in Southern Greece, a region with a centuries-old reputation for producing exceptional olive oil. The Koroneiki olive variety is known for its smooth and fruity flavor. Our oil, deep green in color and fragrant with the fresh aroma of raw olives, delivers a savory, smooth taste that enhances any meal.
Taste the Tradition: Premium Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Kontoulis Family Groves Greece
At Agape Premium, we take pride in delivering the freshest harvest straight from our olive groves to your table. Each bottle of our extra virgin olive oil is meticulously hand-bottled right here in Westchester County, ensuring that we are involved in every step of the process. By bottling in small batches on demand, we guarantee that you always receive the highest quality olive oil, preserving its freshness and flavor.
Farm-Fresh Olive Oil: Hand-Bottled for Maximum Freshness
Unlike wine, olive oil is best enjoyed fresh. Our grove-to-market journey ensures you receive the finest, freshest extra virgin olive oil available. We harvest our olives early in the season, allowing us to bring our product to you in the U.S. as quickly as possible. While early harvesting yields less oil compared to a later harvest, it results in a more flavorful and healthier premium extra virgin olive oil. Experience the difference that freshness makes!
Freshness Matters : Our Grove-to-Market Promise
Our Production Process: Ensuring Purity and Freshness
At Agape Premium, we prioritize quality from the very beginning. Our olives are cold-pressed within 24 to 48 hours of harvesting, which preserves their vitamins, essential fatty acids, nutrients, and healthy antioxidants. We produce our extra virgin olive oil exclusively from the first pressing and keep it unfiltered to maintain its purity.
After pressing, the oil is stored in "teneke"—the Greek term for tin cans—which effectively shields it from heat, light, and oxygen. In mid-December, our Agape Premium teneke embark on their journey from Messinia to our climate-controlled warehouse in Westchester County, New York, arriving by mid-February. Once here, we allow the oil to settle in the teneke, further protecting it from the damaging effects of light, heat, and oxygen.
At Agape Premium, we offer more than just exceptional Mediterranean products.
