Koroneiki (Olea Europea var. microcarpa alba) is an indigenous Greek olive variety. With a history of at least ten centuries of systematic cultivation, Koroneiki has evolved in its current form to be considered as the queen of the Greek olive varieties. Koroneiki cultivar olive tree is planted in late January and grows on average 5-7 meters high, producing fruits whose weight ranges between 0.5 and 1.2 grams. Its remarkable ability to prosper under adverse weather conditions makes it ideal for hot, dry and windy environments. The olive tree blooms in the second half of April while its fruits mature from late October to late December. Each tree can produce between 30-150kg of olives which yield 20-25% of their weight in olive oil. An olive oil of superb quality and low acidity levels, rich in flavour and aromas. Last but not least, Koroneiki variety olive oil is characterized by a very steady post-production chemical behaviour, maintaining its superior organoleptic and nutrition properties for more than 2 years.
