The Koroneiki is an olive cultivar from Greece primarily used in olive oil production. After the Arbequina and Arbosana, Koroneiki olives are among the most common and suitable for super-high density growing systems around the world.[1][2] The most common variety for oil production, Koroneiki olives cover 50-60% of the acreage in Greece.[3] Koroneiki fruits are small, but have a high quality oil yield.[4]
