Taste & characteristics

mildspicyaromatic

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Small fruit with good oil content; ripens slightly later than Arbequina.

Very weak-growing and compact, ideal for mechanised hedgerow planting.

High, early to bear; oil fruity with light pungency and bitterness, more stable than Arbequina.

Often blended with Arbequina; partly self-fertile.
