What do Psilolia, Kritikia, Ladolia, Koroni, Vatsiki, and Lianoli have in common? They are all different names for the olive that has the collective name Koroneiki<\/a>. We love for you to know the Koroneiki<\/a>-olive a little bit better since it is the basis for the extra virgin Gzakas Olive Oil!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Characteristics of the Koroneiki<\/a>-olive<\/h3>\n

The Koroneiki<\/a>-olive is about 3000 years old and, as far as we know, originates from Greece. Nowadays, 60% of Greek olives are Koroneiki<\/a>-olives. Its weight is usually between 0,3 and 1 gram, its length varies between 12 and 15 millimeters, and it has an oval, raindrop-like shape. The Koroneiki<\/a>-olive ripens between October and December. This is why we usually harvest around that time as is written about in our post about the winter harvest<\/a>. Sometimes the olives are still green, but usually, most of them are darker. The Koroneiki<\/a>-tree is also gaining fame in other countries. This due to its low maintenance and ability to withstand relatively low temperatures. The Koroneiki<\/a>-tree can now be found, for instance, on orchards in the United States.<\/p>\n

Taste of the Koroneiki<\/a>-olive<\/h3>\n

When trying a Koroneiki<\/a>-olive or our olive oil it occasionally happens that the taster has to cough a bit. There is a reasonable explanation for this; the Koroneiki<\/a>-olive has a natural peppery taste. The itch in the back of the throat is caused by its robust taste. The Koroneiki<\/a>-olive is also known for having a piquant pear flavour. This gives the olive its distinctive, delicious flavour. Besides being delicious, the Koroneiki<\/a>-olive is also quite healthy. These olives and the extra virgin olive oil we make out of them contain a lot of polyphenols (botanical with medicinal qualities).<\/p>\n
