Koroneiki are the main variety of olives grown for oil in Greece. The tree can be planted in high-density orchards, and will start producing olives 2 to 3 years after planting. It needs another type of olive tree to cross-pollinate with.

The tree produces small olives, but in compensation, the tree is a prolific bearer.

The olives are grown for oil. The oil is greenish, with a light, fruity flavour. It has a good shelf life.

Storage
The oil stores well; 2 years or more.

History
The tree originated in Crete.
