The Empeltre olive tree, also known as Aragonesa or Terra Alta, is a vigorous Catalonian variety prized for its exceptional productivity and adaptability. This upright cultivar dev elops a dense crown and produces abundant new growth annually. Its medium-small, elongated oval fruits mature to deep black with characteristic freckling and yield an impressive 21-23% oil content. Beyond oil production, Empeltre olives are excellent for table use. The variety demonstrates remarkable resilience, tolerating diverse microclimates, freezes, and drought conditions with ease. While it enters production slightly later than Arbequina, its rustic nature and consistent yields make it a reliable choice for diverse growing conditions. Show more
