Corfu olive (Lianolia Kerkyras)

(Corfu olive, Lianolia, Lianolia of Corfu, Prevezana, Ntopia Pargas, Λιανολιά Κέρκυρας)

Lianolia Kerkyras is the primary olive variety cultivated on the Greek island of Corfu, and the olive trees on the island, many of which are several hundreds of years old, are a testament to the long-standing tradition of cultivation. Both Lianolia trees and fruits are typically small to medium in size, and the olives themselves are elongated in shape, with high oil content.


That's why they are predominantly used for oil production rather than served as table olives. The oil obtained from Lianolia Kerkyras is noted for its unique, fruity taste and aromatic character.
