Koroneiki Monovarietal

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.
