Mastoidis, also widely known as Tsounati, is a Greek olive cultivar well-known for its exceptional olive oil and table olive production.
Mastoidis olives are native to the region of Crete in Greece. They are small to medium-sized olives with an elongated shape and a dark purple to black color when ripe. Mastoidis olives are typically harvested for both table olives and olive oil production.
The oil produced from Mastoidis olives is very fruity and aromatic, with a slightly bitter and peppery finish. Mastoidis olives are also used for table olives, where they are often brine-cured or salt-cured.
Mastoidis (Tsounati) olive trees are well adapted to the Mediterranean climate and can thrive in rocky and dry conditions. They are known for their resistance to diseases and pests, making them a popular choice for olive cultivation.
