Cultivars
Five cultivars,
two grove models.
| Cultivar | Grove | Typical characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Arbequina | super-high-density | cultivar from Catalonia, compact tree suited to mechanical harvesting; oil with a delicate, fruity taste |
| Arbosana | super-high-density | Spanish cultivar, tree of moderate vigour suited to high-density groves |
| FS-17 Favolosa | super-high-density | Italian selection, tree of moderate vigour suited to high-density groves |
| Peranzana | traditional | Apulian cultivar, typical of the Foggia area |
| Coratina | traditional | Apulian cultivar from Corato; oil with an intense fruitiness and marked bitterness and pungency |
General characteristics of the cultivars, for guidance only; availability and specifications of each lot on request.
Production methods
Two models
of olive grove.
In super-high-density groves the olive trees are trained in continuous hedgerows and harvested mechanically: a model suited to cultivars of moderate vigour such as Arbequina, Arbosana and FS-17 Favolosa.
Peranzana and Coratina come from traditional groves, with widely spaced, vase-trained trees. In both cases we tell you the cultivar, origin and production method of every lot.
Typical properties
From the cultivar,
the character of the oil.
Each cultivar gives the oil its own profile: sweeter and more delicate in varieties such as Arbequina, more intense, bitter and pungent in cultivars such as Coratina.
That is why choosing the cultivar, the origin and the timing of the harvest is the first step for the olive mill and for processors. All cultivars are available in both conventional and organic options.
