Coratina Olive Tree – Bold Oil Producer with Strong Character

The Coratina Olive Tree is a vigorous Italian cultivar from the Puglia region, prized for its high oil yield and bold, aromatic flavor. Its small to medium olives mature mid to late season and produce an oil rich in polyphenols—ideal for those who enjoy robust, peppery olive oil. The tree grows with a globular crown and long, flexible branches, offering both aesthetic appeal and strong productivity.

Coratina is well-suited to warm, dry climates and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It is known for its early fruiting, consistent yields, and excellent resistance to drought, cold, and common olive pests. While not self-fruitful, Coratina benefits greatly from cross-pollination with companion trees such as the Frantoio or Leccino olive trees.
