VARIETIES

Mavrolia (black olive) and koroneiki (batsiko). The Mavrolia olive (translated literally means "black olive") is a unique, primordial, local variety of Messinia. Its flavor profile is fruity, almost rich, but delicate, its harvest usually takes place from early October to mid-November, depending on weather conditions, the amount of production and other external factors. The Koroneiki olive (Olea Europea var. microcarpa alba) is also called koronia, koroni, kritikia, vatsiki, ladolia, lianolia and psilolia. It is a traditional variety of Greece and is considered the queen of Greek olive varieties. It is a small-fruited variety without special soil-climatic requirements, resistant to drought and winds and adapts satisfactorily to dry-thermal conditions and poor soils. As a tree it is robust and long-lived with small, lance-shaped and deep green leaves. It is characterized by two important advantages: its fast growth and its high and stable fruiting.
