The predominant color on Corfu is green. It owes this to the estimated 4,000,000 olive trees, both wild and cultivated.
In ancient and medieval Corfu, the olive tree was an insignificant cultivated plant and the island was better known for its wine growing. It was only through a decree of the Venezians in 1537 that vines were replaced by olive trees
to increase olive oil production.
MITERA is one of the 3 oldest olive trees on the island and as its name suggests, it is considered the mother tree of the olive groves from Gardiki to Skala. The old lady is said to be around 1500 years old and belongs to the wild Lianolia variety.
Lianolia Corfu, sometimes called Korfolia, Ladolia, Nerolia, Prevezana, Souvlolia or Stryftolia, is grown mainly in the prefecture of Corfu and to a lesser extent in the prefectures of Zakynthos, Kefallinia, Lefkada, Preveza and Thesprotia.
The tree grows to about 12-14 meters tall, its leaves are deep green, 6.67 cm long and 1.49 cm wide. The fruit has
a cylindrical-conical shape, with a slightly curved side, its average weight is 2.3 g. The pulp to seed ratio is 7.5:1.
The oil content of the fruit reaches 19%. It is mainly used to produce high quality oil. It is considered a moisture-demanding variety, which is why it thrives in areas with high rainfall and high humidity.
