Variety description

10 August 2026

The Bical de Castelo Branco variety is a local Portuguese variety, common in the Beira Interior and Alto Alentejo regions. The fruits are distinguished by their large size and medium flesh-to-pit ratio. The harvest possesses resistance to detachment from the pedicel, which reduces natural fruit drop.

The plant is susceptible to a number of diseases, including peacock spot, olive knot (tuberculosis of the olive tree), and infestation by the olive fruit fly. The resulting oil possesses characteristics of oxidative stability and is often used in blends with other varieties for a balanced taste.
