为什么妈妈(和企业家)拥有自己的特级初榨橄榄油系列
“家庭晚餐对我来说非常重要,他们帮助我保持观点,”Katina Mountanos说。正是这些家庭聚餐激发了她创办自己的橄榄油公司Kosterina。 “我绝对觉得健康的饮食是我生活方式的重要组成部分,也是我妈妈如何做饭以及婆婆做饭的根本原因。”

她是一名两个孩子的母亲,她是jet.com的副总裁,也是一位企业家,他在共同创办了一家成功的公司Manicube后,最近推出了Kosterina。她的秘密?家庭餐和健康的橄榄油.
Mountanos说她几乎是靠橄榄油长大的。萨默斯在希腊的小镇Koroni度过,她的祖父母仍在那里居住。她的家人每年秋天都会带着新鲜的当地橄榄油返回美国,这些橄榄油将成为明年家庭用餐的中心。他们将它用于烹饪鸡蛋和烘焙等各种食物。 “我们从未使用过黄油,”Mountanos解释道.

在为自己的家人做饭时,Mountanos无法理解为什么她在美国买的橄榄油从未尝到过她在成长过程中所享受的那种美味。在研究橄榄油并发现其许多健康益处后,她承认自己变得有点痴迷:“普通希腊人每年消费17公斤橄榄油,”Mountanos说。 “美国消费不到一个。我想创造一个品牌,有助于教育人们了解橄榄油的好处。”
Kosterina是一种早期收获的有机特级初榨橄榄油,来自克里特岛。一种味道,你几乎可以想象你正在穿过橄榄树林。尝试它并且它是如此新鲜它几乎烧伤了你的喉咙,这部分归功于这种橄榄油中天然存在的超过500毫克的多酚。 (大多数橄榄油每公斤约55毫克。)
您可能听说过多酚 – 它们是橄榄油中天然存在的抗氧化剂,与布洛芬中的人造化合物相同。研究表明,多酚可降低患心脏病,癌症和阿尔茨海默氏症以及降低胆固醇的风险。 “我一直都知道这是健康的,”Mountanos说,“但在我开始研究它之前,我并不知道所有这些好处。”
在家里,Mountanos在大沙拉,烤蔬菜,爆米花和其他所有东西上都使用橄榄油。她说,在食物上淋上它的简单行为提醒人们要脱离技术,不要再看她的手表了。当我们到达那个漂亮的白色Kosterina瓶时,她希望我们更多的人也会这样做.
有很多方法可以使用橄榄油,但我们最喜欢的是这种One-Pan Pasta:

It was these family gatherings that inspired her to start her own olive oil company, Kosterina. “I absolutely believe that healthy eating is an important part of my lifestyle, and it is the fundamental reason why my mother and grandmother cook.” (Read: More information about olive oil and other anti-inflammatory foods) She is a mother of two children, vice president of jet.com, and an entrepreneur who recently launched Kosterina after co-founding a successful company, Manicube. Her secret? Family meals and healthy olive oil. Mountanos said she grew up almost entirely on olive oil. She spent her summers in the small town of Koroni in Greece, where her grandparents still live. Her family brings back fresh local olive oil to the US every fall, which becomes the centerpiece of next years family meals. They use it for cooking eggs and baking various foods. “We never use butter,” Mountanos explained. (GET: Our easy olive oil cake recipe) When cooking for her own family, Mountanos couldnt understand why the olive oil she bought in the US never tasted as delicious as the one she enjoyed growing up. After researching olive oil and discovering its many health benefits, she admits to becoming a bit obsessed: “The average Greek consumes 17 kilograms of olive oil per year,” Mountanos said. “The US consumes less than one. I want to create a brand that helps educate people about the benefits of olive oil.” Photography: Provided by Kosterina Olive Oil. Kosterina is an early harvest organic extra virgin olive oil from Crete. A taste that you can almost imagine you are walking through an olive grove. Try it and its so fresh it almost burns your throat, thanks in part to the more than 500 milligrams of polyphenols naturally present in this olive oil. (Most olive oils contain about 55 milligrams per kilogram.) You may have heard of polyphenols – they are natural antioxidants found in olive oil, similar to the synthetic compounds in ibuprofen. Studies have shown that polyphenols can reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimers disease, as well as lower cholesterol.
