We work exclusively with producers who share our commitment to transparency about their products, demonstrated through their quality control and production practices. We visit the grove and mill, review quality data firsthand, and select only profiles that meet our standards. Quality and sensory excellence are non-negotiable.

If satisfied with the aroma and flavor, we collect a sample and submit it to a third-party, International Olive Council (IOC)-certified laboratory for independent analytical verification.

We do not stop at standard quality parameters. We apply an extended set of tests covering quality, authenticity, and safety. Well beyond standard commercial requirements.

Our foremost priority is Chemistry, aka quality. To ensure consistent practices across cultivation, harvest, production, and traceability, we prefer to work with small producers rather than mass producers. We curate the product in a small number of bottles.

Our selection process is uncompromising. If the data and process do not align with our philosophy, it does not carry the KORAJE name.

Olive oil fraud and mislabeling are well-documented problems. Studies suggest a significant proportion of oils labelled as extra virgin do not meet the standard. KORAJE was built specifically to close that gap — with third-party verified, IOC-certified testing that goes beyond label claims.
