This Koroneiki EVOO is known for its intense, grassy aroma with hints of fresh herbs, green tomato, and a lingering peppery finish. The Koroneiki olives are hand picked at peak ripeness and cold pressed to capture high polyphenol levels. Best suited for robust dishes such as grilled lamb, roasted potatoes, or as a dip for fresh bread. The oil showcases the signature vigor of the Greek Koroneiki variety grown in New Zealand soils.

Fruitiness 4.8
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 3.8
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.

Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 7.3
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants.

Why choose it

Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Koroneiki as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
