Koroneiki
(Κορωνέικη, Koroni, Kritikia, Ladolia, Lianolia, Psilolia, Vaciki)
Koroneiki is a variety of olive primarily grown in Greece, renowned for its high-quality olive oil. The olive oil produced from Koroneiki olives is known for its fruity, aromatic, and robust flavor profile, often characterized by a slightly bitter and peppery finish.
The olives themselves are small in size, typically green when unripe and turning dark purple as they mature. Koroneiki trees are small and bushy, well-suited to dry, rocky soil, and can tolerate high temperatures, making them hardy and productive.
These trees are usually harvested when the olives are still green to maximize the quality and flavor of the oil. Koroneiki olive oil is rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, and it has anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to its nutritional benefits.
The trees are known for their high yield and resistance to diseases, which makes them a popular choice among olive farmers.
