Production is good and constant and the fruits, which have an early and contemporary maturation, give a good yield in oil. Very rustic variety, it tolerates well adversity such as the olive knot, the olive leaf spot and the cold. The Leccino gives a medium fruity oil, with hints of artichoke and almond, sensations of balanced taste with a bitter and spicy medium light.
THE CAROLEA
The Carolea is table and oil cvs, native to the land of Lamezia Terme. This variety has a high force, upright habit and a thick and compact foliage. The fruits, large, at the apex, are characterized by a protuberance normally quite obvious. The maturation of the olives is scalar and later than the Leccino but the content in oil is higher.
