Koroneiki olives in Ghar El Melh, Tunisia

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]
