Psyche, founded by former art publisher Theophilos Constantinou, introduced a single-estate extra virgin olive oil pressed from organic Koroneiki olives, featuring cold mechanical extraction within 24 hours of hand-picking.
The Copenhagen-based brand kept processing transparent by working directly with Messenia growers and avoiding deodorization or blending to preserve natural character. The oil was produced at an early harvest to maximize polyphenol levels and finished with 0.25% acidity, yielding a grassy, green profile and a peppery finish. Packaging uses light- and oxygen-blocking pouches to prevent degradation that clear bottles allow, while mechanical-only extraction retains phenolic compounds.
For consumers, Psyche's launch offers a chef-grade finishing oil that prioritizes freshness, traceability and antioxidant content, aligning with trends toward provenance-driven pantry staples and healthier, flavor-forward cooking ingredients.
