100% Koroneiki
The King of Olives
Our olive oil is made from 100% Koroneiki olives , rightfully nicknamed the "Queen of Olives." This noble olive variety is among the highest quality in the world and is also the most widely cultivated olive in Greece—a true sign of quality!
Regular Harvest & Early Harvest – Two varieties, one incomparable taste
Both varieties represent the highest quality – depending on your taste preferences, you can choose the right olive oil for your kitchen!
Normal harvest
The olives are harvested when fully ripe, which ensures a mild, fruity taste and a high oil yield.
Early harvest
Here, the olives are harvested early, while they are still green. The result is an intensely aromatic olive oil with particularly high levels of antioxidants and valuable polyphenols.
Cultivation & Yield of the Koroneiki Olive
The Koroneiki olive needs above all
One thing: time, patience, and intensive care . Calcareous soil is crucial for the olive tree to thrive optimally. For a successful ripening process, the tree needs plenty of sunlight and—depending on the olive orchard—additional irrigation . These factors significantly influence the quantity and quality of the olive harvest .
The oil yield of the Koroneiki olive is an impressive 20 to 25% , which is significantly higher than that of many other olive varieties. This high yield is primarily due to the optimal ripeness of the fruit and careful processing .
Healthy & high-quality: The Koroneiki olive is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and contains particularly high levels of oleic acid – a key quality characteristic of premium olive oil . In this respect, it surpasses many other olive varieties. Anyone who tries our olive oil made from Koroneiki olives will immediately taste the difference.
Processing & Taste
Gently extracted, intense in aroma
Our Koroneiki olive oil is obtained through gentle cold extraction —a method that guarantees the highest quality. The olives are first thoroughly cleaned and then crushed to create a fine paste. This paste is pressed under controlled pressure to extract the precious oil.
Cold extraction – For the highest quality
During pressing we ensure optimal
Conditions:
✔ No heat & no chemical additives – Extraction takes place exclusively at low temperatures (below 27 °C ), so that all valuable nutrients, antioxidants and aromas are retained.
✔ Maximum purity & freshness – Due to careful processing, the full flavor of the Koroneiki olive is retained in the oil.
If any olive variety deserves this special treatment, it is our Koroneiki olive – because only in this way can we produce a high-quality olive oil with an intense, fruity aroma and first-class health benefits.

💡 Did you know? An olive tree must be at least 30 years old before it produces its first harvest!
Thanks to the high quality and purity of our olive oil, it naturally has a long shelf life – without additives or preservatives!
🕒 Shelf life: If stored correctly, the olive oil stays fresh for about 24 months – about 12 months longer than stated on the bottle.
The Koroneiki olive harvest season is between November and January, depending on the climate and location. An early harvest can begin as early as September or October , when the olives are still green and unripe. The harvest time determines the flavor and oil yield :
📅 Harvest & Taste:
✔ October – November: 15–18% oil yield | Taste: grassy, sharp finish, very fresh & green
✔ December: 18–20% oil yield | Taste: slightly grassy, fresh & fruity
✔ January: 20–25% oil yield | Taste: fruity, mild, sweet
The darker the olives, the higher their oil content. Processing also influences yield—the longer the olives are ground or pressed, the more oil is extracted.
