Koroneiki
It is a variety grown exclusively for olive oil production. The care of the olive tree lasts all year round and includes interventions such as pruning and the control of weeds that attack the olive tree and its fruit.
The pruning of the olive tree is responsible for keeping the tree healthy, eliminating dry parts, ensuring a balance in its growth, better ventilation and better access of the fruit to the sun.
Its ripening begins early in November and ends late in December while the harvest can begin in our region after the 2nd decade of November. The separated olive oil is the finest of all varieties with a wonderful intense aroma and spicy taste.
Athinolia
It is also a variety grown exclusively for the production of olive oil. It is also known as Tsunati, but its most common name is Mastoidis.
It stands out for the intense aromatic and fruity character it imparts to the olive oil produced from its pressing.
It ripens early, although the fruit is harvested almost green. Early harvesting reduces the rate of fungal diseases which are a factor in the deterioration of the quality of the olives.
It gives healthy fruit and thus excellent quality olive oil with low acidity and high content of antioxidants. Recently it has been associated with the highest indices of total polyphenol content and seems to be superior to all Greek varieties.
