This medium-sized tree features a spreading, open canopy and shows excellent resilience to wind and drought, though it prefers mild winters. Its small, mastoid-shaped fruit ripens mid- to late season, yielding a remarkably high oil content rich in oleic acid and prized for its exceptional stability and robust, fruity flavor. Perfect for dedicated growers aiming to craft premium artisanal olive oil.
