Originating in Greece, the Koroneiki olive is primarily used in olive oil production.Grown often in high-density orchards, this small olive delivers a bold flavor and healthy boost of polyphenols, or anti-oxidants. This oil has an aroma of ripe banana, and an olive flavor offset by subtle notes of fresh grass and a bold, peppery finish. Enjoy this taste of Greece!
Usage Notes: As Koroneiki is a rather bold oil, it pairs well with more robust foods. Try it alone as a dip for hearty, crusty bread to start, and then venture into using it for marinades, bold salad dressings (it is a great match for a strong vinegar) or a plain drizzle on arugula salad. Want to add punch to your pesto? Try using this oil instead of a mild one! It's bold, grassy flavor is a wonderful addition to sautéed vegetables, tomatoes or roasted meats.
