Koroneiki variety
We grow exclusively the Koroneiki variety. Traditional variety of Greece and considered the queen of Greek olive varieties.
Ellive's Koroneiko extra virgin olive oil differs for its unripe fruity taste that lasts, with pleasant bitterness and a spicy sensation in the throat.
Harvest
To produce high quality virgin olive oil, we harvest the fruits by hand when they are still unripe and green. At this stage, the olive gives us its juice with a rich fruity aroma while contributing to our health by maintaining the highest percentage of polyphenols and antioxidants.

Modern Production Unit
The Olive Oil extraction is carried out in a modern model olive oil press with great care and strictly cold pressing (below 25C), within 24 hours from the moment of harvest.
Then we store our olive oil in stainless steel tanks, with a special technology of a vacuum filling system between the surface of the olive oil and the ceiling, with inert nitrogen gas. The stainless steel Nitrogen tanks allow its natural precipitation and keep the product in excellent condition until its standardization.
