KORONEIKI Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Greece

KORONEIKI Olive Oils are noted for their fruitiness and stability, which means that they keep their flavor and freshness a longtime. The Koroneiki olive, picked while still green, is highly prized for its aromatic, strongly flavored oil, perfect for enjoying in its natural raw state or added at the end of cooking. Olive farming in Crete remains based mainly on small traditional family-owned plantations. Dating back to 1500 B.C.E., the Minoan villa in Vathypetro boasts a stone oil press, while some experts suggest even older presses in Phaistos. Today, olive farming thrives on two-thirds of the island's cultivable land, primarily in small traditional family-owned plantations with a central community processor. The Greeks themselves consume more olive oil than any other nation and with this olive oil, you can taste why.

Flavor Profile: Reminiscent of the olive tree’s wood, the greenness of its leaves, with soft herbal notes. Intense with the variety’s characteristic soft ending and touch of sweetness.

Favorite Pairings: Hickory Balsamic Vinegar, Cucumber Melon White Balsamic Vinegar, Lambrusco Vinegar
