The Arbequine olive variety, classified as an oil cultivar, likely originates from the village of Arbeca in the Lleida region of Spain. The tree has low vigor and limited growth, making it well-suited for high-density orchards. This variety is highly valued for its consistently high productivity and the excellent quality of its oil, which is characterized by good organoleptic properties, although its stability is relatively low. The fruit is a small, round olive weighing less than 2 g, producing a mild-tasting oil. Harvest is early, typically starting in December.
