This variety adapts easily to different olive-growing environments and starts to bear very early. Its rooting ability is high. The flowers have a low pistol abortion rate. The inflorescences are often leafy. In its area of origin the “Cellina di Nardo” is used as a pollinator. Its productivity is high and constant. The fruit ripens late and varies a lot in size. Some years it is also suitable for green olives in brine. Oil yield is high and the oil has a very high polyphenol content.
