Kalamata Reserve - Messinia, Peloponnese
The Koroneiki olive is a small but mighty fruit. Despite the fruit's tiny size, it produces oil of exceptional quality - vibrant green in colour, high in antioxidants (polyphenols) and packed with bold flavours.
Our Koroneiki olive oil is produced from a single estate near Karpofora — a village whose name simply means "the land that bears fruit." It is intensely aromatic and fresh, with notes of green grass, artichoke and wild herbs, balanced by a distinctive peppery finish and a gentle bitterness that signal its richness in antioxidants.
This is ancient land. In Homer's Iliad, Agamemnon offers Achilles seven cities of Messenia as a gift to end his anger and return to the war. One of those seven — Aipeia — has been identified as the town of Petalidi, immediately beside our grove. The Mycenaean settlement of Nichoria, excavated a few kilometres away in Karpofora, confirms that people have farmed and pressed oil in this landscape since the Bronze Age.
Koroneiki olive trees have evolved to survive in harsh Mediterranean environments where water is scarce, soils are poor, and summers are long, hot and dry. This means that the trees grow slowly, the fruits develop with less water and more environmental stress, which naturally concentrates flavour, aromas, and polyphenols in the fruit juice. The result: an extra virgin olive oil that is pure, highly nutritional, and expressive of the fruit and its origin.

Purely Natural. Naturally Healthy.
Koroneiki olive oil is distinguished for its health and nutritional benefits. Studies show that the polyphenols in EVOO have anti-inflammatory properties and therapeutic effects against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders and cancer.
We harvest early to maximise the polyphenol count and take great care to ensure the purity of the natural fruit is preserved.
The olive mill we collaborate with is organic certified and uses state of the art technology. The purity of our oil can be understood from the K-factors and DK oxidation levels, which are tested to check for contaminations, adulterations or modifications.
