Olive - Koroneiki

The Koroneiki olive is a high yielding tree that comes into bearing in its 2nd or 3rd year. It produces a small fruit that is primarily used for oil production but the fruit can also be pickled as a “snack olive”.

The Oil quality is exceptional with a high polyphenol content. It ripens mid/late season. Originating from the island of Crete it performs well in warm climates.

Also known as Tiny Kalamata it is highly self fertile and suitable for hedgerow cultivation, often being planted with Arbequina and Arbosana in high density groves.
