Unveiling the "Queen of Olives" - Koroneiki Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil

At Olive This Olive That, we're on a mission to bring you the finest olive oil varieties from California. Today, we're shining a spotlight on the Koroneiki Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil, a liquid gold hailing from Greece, often referred to as the "Queen of Olives" for a reason.

A Legacy Steeped in Excellence:

The Koroneiki olive, the heart of this exceptional oil, thrives in the sun-drenched Peloponnese region of Greece.  Cultivated for centuries, these small, elliptical olives are hand-picked at peak ripeness, ensuring the highest quality and the most intense flavor possible.  Our Koroneiki oil is certified Organic, meaning it's produced using sustainable methods that are kind to the environment.

A Feast for the Senses:

The first encounter with Koroneiki EVOO is a sensory delight. The aroma is a captivating mix of freshly cut grass, ripe banana, and a hint of citrus. The first sip explodes with a symphony of flavors – a delightful fruitiness reminiscent of apples and pears, balanced by a pleasant peppery kick that lingers on the palate.  A touch of bitterness adds complexity, creating a truly unforgettable experience.  Koroneiki's acidity is pleasantly low, making it perfect for those who appreciate a smooth and mellow olive oil.

A Culinary Chameleon: Unveiling Versatility

Koroneiki's well-rounded flavor profile makes it a true culinary champion. Drizzle it raw over salads, grilled fish, or crusty bread to experience its full essence.  The delicate fruitiness complements a wide range of dishes, making it a perfect all-purpose oil for everyday cooking.  Use it for sautéing vegetables, adding a touch of elegance to your favorite stir-fries or pasta dishes.

Beyond the Obvious: A Chef's Secret Weapon

Koroneiki's high smoke point makes it suitable for a variety of cooking methods.  Lightly fry or pan-sear meats and seafood to infuse them with the oil's subtle fruitiness and peppery character.  For an authentic Greek twist, use Koroneiki for drizzling over roasted vegetables or marinating grilled halloumi cheese.

A Gift From Nature's Bounty:

Beyond its culinary delights, Koroneiki EVOO boasts impressive health benefits.  Being organic ensures you're getting the purest form of this liquid gold.  It's a rich source of monounsaturated fats, known to promote heart health and reduce bad cholesterol. Koroneiki is also loaded with antioxidants that help combat free radicals and contribute to overall well-being.
