Olea europaea 'Koroneiki' is from the Peloponnese area of Greece and produces small olives that yield exceptional oil.
Olea europaea ‘Koroneiki’ originated in the southern Peloponnese area of Greece, not far from Kalamata and Mani. It produces small olives that yield an olive oil of exceptional quality that accounts for 50% of Greek production. The oil is green in colour, and very fruity with herbal characters and a touch of bitterness and pungency.
