Re: Olive Varieties

Do you happen to have any information about Spanich ones?

Only in Malaga (a province in Andalusia) you can find at least the
following well characterised varieties:

oil production=

Verdial de la Axarquía (Verdial de Vélez)
Nevadillo Blanco
Picuillo
Picudo de Baena (Carrasqueño)
Picuo
Picual
Aloreña
Verdial de Ronda (¿de Huevar?)
Zorzaleño
Chorruo
Manzanilla Prieta (Morisco)
Hojiblanca
Lechín de Granada
Lechin de Sevilla
Gordal de Archidona
Blanqueta
Arbequina

to eat:

Aloreña
Manzanilla Sevillana (manzanillo)
Hojiblanca

We have more than 100 different varieties producing olives for different
uses. Several varieties are local and other are broadly distributed. You
can find several books (in Spanish) and web sites where you can have more
information.

I hope this helps.
