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

Very small fruit with an exceptionally high oil-to-flesh ratio.

Medium vigour, drought-tolerant, very productive; suitable for high-density planting too.

Very high; oil green-fruity with herbs, almond and balanced pungency, very stable.

Dominates Crete and the Peloponnese; more cold-sensitive than northern Greek varieties.
