Koroneiki Olive Oil: Greece’s Signature Varietal

Koroneiki is the most widely planted olive varietal in Greece, prized for producing olive oil with a robust peppery finish, fresh grassy aroma, and high polyphenol content compared to many other varietals.

Flavor Profile

Koroneiki oil is known for notes of fresh green apple and ripe tomato on the nose, a peppery, lingering finish, and a bright golden-green color.

Where It’s Grown

Koroneiki thrives in the Peloponnese, Crete, and other southern Greek regions with a dry Mediterranean climate.

Why Producers Prize It

Beyond flavor, Koroneiki olives are prized for drought resistance and consistently high oil yield relative to other varietals.
