Last October, Angela and I welcomed our little bundle of joy, Ares, into the world. The birth went smoothly, and just two days later, we were eagerly bringing our precious baby boy home. But what came next was an adventure filled with endless nights of feeding, burping, changing diapers, and desperately seeking moments of rest in between.
Fast forward to Ares' first pediatrician appointment, 10 days after his arrival. We met our pediatrician, who seemed wonderful. However, at the end of our visit, he posed a question that left us a bit perplexed.
He asked whether Ares would be breastfed or on formula. We confidently replied that Angela would be breast feeding, and we had no plans to introduce formula. To our surprise, he sighed and said, "Well, babies exclusively breastfed are often deficient in vitamin D. Let me prescribe something for you."
I couldn't help but wonder how countless generations of babies had thrived without such prescriptions, but lacking a medical degree, I accepted the prescription and left with Angela, Ares, and my incredibly supportive mother-in-law, who had moved in with us for 6 months to lend a helping hand.
A few hours later, I found myself at the pharmacy, picking up the prescribed vitamin D supplement. Naturally, my curiosity got the best of me, and I examined the ingredients listed on the bottle:
Purified Water
Glycerin
Propylene Glycol
Polysorbate 80
Natural Cherry Flavor
Caramel Color
Potassium Sorbate (Preservative)
Sodium Benzoate (Preservative)
Citric Acid or Sodium Hydroxide
In the end, we never gave Ares the product the pediatrician prescribed.
This experience prompted me to delve into the world of vitamin D research. As someone in the health and wellness space, I reached out to friends who specialize in supplements. To my surprise, I discovered that most Vitamin D3 supplements on the market were suspect at best. Some crucially omitted vitamin K2, which is essential for working in harmony with Vitamin D3 to promote healthy bones. To simplify, vitamin K2 ensures that calcium goes where it's needed – into the bones – rather than accumulating in unwanted places like arteries.
We needed to create a superior Vitamin D + K2 supplement, one that combined the power of Vitamin D3 + K2 with the goodness of Kasandrinos ORGANIC extra virgin olive oil."

A GREEK FAMILY TRADITION
Olive oil has been a central part of the Kasandrinos family for generations. Kasandrinos babies are baptized with the oil from our family’s land. It’s so much a part of our lives that we never realized most people in the U.S. have been drizzling stale olive oil on their food for decades. In Greece, it’s customary to grow and press your own olive oil for extended family and friends. So, even after moving to the U.S., our family made sure to bring enough olive oil back to enjoy until the next trip back to our family home in Niata, Greece
A GROWING COMMUNITY THATS NOT SLOWING
With Kasandrinos, we took a leap of faith that people stateside would care about the quality of their olive oil. And we were right. More and more health-enthusiasts and foodies started tasting and feeling the difference from our single-origin, small-batch, organic oil. Since then, the team has grown to include our cousin Efrosyni as the Creative Director. We’ve expanded to sell on Amazon. And we’re still proud to sell every bottle of olive oil and vinegar directly to you. No middleman. No bottles sitting on shelves for months. Just fresh, single-origin oil and vinegar, from our family to yours.
CULTURE AND TRADITION DELIVERED TO YOUR TABLE
The products we bring to your table are more than just food. They’re from the land our family has tended for generations. It’s the olive oil we were raised with. The foods that bring us together. We hope that you’ll taste the care that goes into every bottle. From hand-picking the olives to crushing, bottling, and shipping in a way that nurtures the land and the people who tend it. And most of all, we hope Kasandrinos can bring you a little bit of the country we love to your family’s table.
