Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Harvest: 2023

Country / Region: Chile

Intensity: Robust

Description: This year's harvest from Chile presents the palate with floral notes including rose petal and a creamy green almond center with hints of banana, some sweetness, and a mild peppery finish. It lives up to the signature flavour profile and reputation of a well-made Koroneiki. This classic Greek varietal is a beautiful example of the complex Koroneiki.  An enjoyable olive oil for those who prefer a well-balaced finishing oil. This classic Greek varietal is both balanced and fresh. The Koroneiki olive grows in abundance in Greece, is very small and difficult to cultivate, but it also has one of the highest oil contents, typically 20-30% oil. The overall yield of oil per tree is much lower, but its return is an oil of exceptional quality. The common production of olive oil per tree is 10 litres, while the Koroneiki variety produces only 1-3 litres of the rich gold-green juice. This small olive, however, delivers a healthy punch and a consistently low acidity. The Koroneiki olive also has a very high level of polyphenols, the chemical substances found in plants that may reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. The oil is high in oleic acid and very stable, which means it has a very good shelf life. It is a varietal that is also more resistant to insects and droughts than many other olive varietals.

Tasting Profile / Serving Suggestions: This season's crush presents the palate with prominent notes of green banana and chicory with creaminess and an astringent finish. A pleasant olive oil that is well-suited to various greens, stews, roasts, grilled and roasted vegetables, and grilled meats.
