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 extra virgin olive oil is produced by gentle cold extraction below 27 °C – a method that ensures the highest quality. The olives are carefully cleaned, crushed, and processed into a fine paste, which is then pressed under controlled pressure. This results in a high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil with a full character.
Cold extraction – for the highest quality
✔ Without heat & without chemical additives – natural ingredients and antioxidants are optimally preserved.
✔ Maximum purity & freshness – the intensely fruity taste of the Koroneiki olive is fully retained.
If any olive variety deserves this special processing, it's the Koroneiki olive – for an extra virgin olive oil with an intense, fruity profile and first-class quality.

All the essential information at a glance
Koroneiki is the name of an olive variety. It originally comes from Greece – especially from the region around Koroni on the Peloponnese. This is where its name comes from.
Olive oils made from Koroneiki olives are considered very stable and full of character. They naturally contain many antioxidant compounds and often have a balanced taste of fruitiness, bitterness, and a slight pungency.
So, if you read "Koroneiki" on a bottle, you know:
It is a monovarietal or dominant olive oil from a traditional Greek olive variety.
- small, robust olive fruit
- high oil yield
- particularly intense, fresh taste
- often with a slightly peppery note
Koroneiki is almost exclusively used for oil production - not as a table olive.
The Peloponnese is home to the Koroneiki olive, more specifically the small town of Koroni in the Messenia region. Our Extra Virgin STAY SPICED! Olive Oil comes from the Eleonas Cooperative, founded in 2004, which is known for sustainable production and strict certification standards.
As close cooperation with our producers is particularly important to us, CEO Lukas Walchhofer regularly visits the olive groves near Gargaliani to personally assess the quality and experience the production process first-hand.
💡 Did you know? An olive tree must be at least 30 years old before it bears its first crop!
STAY SPICED! stands for the highest quality without compromise – and this promise applies not only to our spices but also to our extraordinary Extra Virgin STAY SPICED! Olive Oil.
It is made from 100% Koroneiki olives, which rightly bear the nickname "Queen of Olives." This high-quality olive variety is among the best in the world and is characterized by its small fruits with a high oil content and its intense, fruity taste.
Olive oil is considered a staple of the Mediterranean diet. It contains a high proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids, particularly oleic acid. In a balanced diet, these fatty acids replace saturated fats.
High-quality, cold-pressed olive oil also contains natural accompanying substances such as polyphenols. They originate from the olive itself and contribute to the oil's stability.
Important: Olive oil remains a fat and should be used sparingly. However, in a balanced diet, it can be a valuable source of fat.
The harvest season for the Koroneiki olive is between November and January, depending on 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 taste and oil yield:
📅 Harvest & Taste:
✔ October – November: 15–18% oil yield | Taste: grassy, pungent finish, very fresh & green
✔ December: 18–20% oil yield | Taste: slightly grassy, fresh & fruity
✔ January: 20–25% oil yield | Taste: fruity, mild, mellow
The darker the olives, the higher their oil content. Furthermore, the processing influences the yield – the longer the olives are ground or pressed, the more oil is extracted.
When buying olive oil, these points are crucial:
1. Quality Level
Look for "extra virgin" – this signifies the highest quality grade.
2. Origin
Transparent information about the cultivation area and producer indicates quality.
3. Harvest Year
Fresh olive oil is more aromatic. A harvest year on the label is a good sign.
4. Packaging
Dark glass bottles or tins protect against light and preserve quality.
5. Taste
A good olive oil may taste slightly bitter or peppery – this indicates natural ingredients.
"Native extra" (also "extra virgin") is the highest quality level for olive oil.
This means:
- mechanically extracted (no chemical treatment)
- cold extracted
- very low acidity (max. 0.8 %)
- organoleptically flawless
An extra virgin olive oil is produced exclusively through mechanical processes such as pressing or centrifuging. Taste, smell and quality are checked.
Yes, you can fry with olive oil.
Quality is key:
High-quality extra virgin olive oil is suitable for medium temperatures. It has a relatively high smoke point and remains stable during normal frying.
For very intense, long searing at extremely high temperatures, a specially designed frying oil may be more suitable. However, olive oil is excellent for vegetables, fish, meat, or Mediterranean dishes.
Our Koroneiki olive oil is excellent for preparing, refining, and finishing a variety of dishes and can be heated up to 210°C.
✔Antipasti & Salads – Ideal for fresh dressings and Mediterranean delicacies.
✔Pasta & Warm Dishes – As an aromatic finish for homemade pasta or vegetable dishes.
✔Grilling & Roasting – Perfect for meat, fish, and seafood.
✔Baking & Bread Dip – Enjoy it with crusty baguette, a little lemon juice, and a pinch of salt – a real treat!
Thanks to the high quality and purity of our olive oil, it is naturally long-lasting – without additives or preservatives!
🕒 Shelf life: When stored correctly, the olive oil stays fresh for approximately 24 months – which is about 12 months longer than indicated on the bottle.
