The Pikrolia variety, also known as Pikrolia Kerkyras, is a local Greek variety whose history is inextricably linked to the development of olive growing on the island of Corfu and the Ionian Islands. There is no data in open scientific publications regarding its breeding and origin.
Fruits of the variety are characterized by a medium size with a weight from 2 to 5 grams. One of the key features is the high concentration of the polyphenol oleuropein, which makes this variety a promising raw material for the industrial production of this compound.
The name of the variety is etymologically related to the Greek word meaning "bitter," which indicates the pronounced flavor profile of the fruits. Detailed agrotechnical characteristics, including yield, winter hardiness, and pest resistance, are not described in the sources.
