KORONEIKI ULTRA PREMIUM EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Our intensely aromatic Chilean Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil features green notes of unripe stone fruit and apple peel, with hints of confection throughout. A bitter center gives way to a pungent peppery finish. This award-winning oil is an excellent example of early harvest green Picual olives. 2024 Gold Medal Winner at Olive Japan.
Our ultra-premium extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) are exceptionally versatile, pairing perfectly with our barrel-aged Italian balsamic vinegars. They are ideal for vinaigrettes, marinades, sautés, and as a finishing touch for various dishes.

SALAD DRESSING (VINAIGRETTE) PREPARATION
Combine 2 parts Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil with 1 part balsamic vinegar. Whisk together and serve. To emulsify dab in a small amount of Dijon mustard or light mayo and continue whisking. Oil and balsamic will become creamy in appearance. Refrigerate remaining amount for up to 3 days.
MARINADE PREPARATION
Combine equal parts Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil with equal parts balsamic vinegar. We recommend preparing just enough to cover the protein. Place in zip-lock bag and squeeze out air. Place in refrigerator for at least six hours.
Note: For Fish, Seafood (catches from the water) we recommend rubbing the Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil into the raw protein in the absence of the balsamic vinegar for approximately 30 minutes. We recommend NOT using balsamic during the marinade step to prevent the acidic balsamic from breaking down the delicate protein. Instead, combine Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil and balsamic and use to drizzle over the finished product.
HEAT APPLICATIONS
Applying heat to any oil or balsamic may slightly reduce the original flavor profile. To bring back any lost flavors prepare a small amount of fresh marinade and drizzle over the finished product.
