OLIVE FRUIT USED FOR OREXA

The Koroneiki variety originated in Crete over 5000 years ago. The particular taste, aroma, and rich composition of Koroneiki oil is very unique and special.

The olive fruit is picked while still green, and highly prized for its aromatic, strongly flavored oil, perfect for enjoying in its natural raw state or added at the end of cooking.  It gives a rich and fruity flavor and a spicy/citrus taste to the extra virgin olive oil . It has a strong and long persistent aftertaste.

The Koroneiki olive has a very high content of oleic acid and polyphenols making the oil very stable with superb health benefits. The oil’s therapeutic properties have been well documented. The shelf life for Koroneiki olive oil is also exceptionally long compared to other varieties.
