Bouteillan - Characteristics

Characteristics

It is a cultivar of medium-to-weak vigour, with a spreading growth form, and elliptic-lanceolate leaves of medium length and width. The olives are of medium weight, and ovoid, slightly asymmetrical in shape. The stone is rounded at both ends, with a rough surface and a mucro.

Depending on the region, this cultivar is picked from the end of October until New Year. When fully mature, the colour of the fruit is Burgundy. The olive is clingstone – the stone clings to the flesh.
