Variety description

10 August 2026

In the Italian tradition, the name Maschio was historically used to designate trees valued not for yield, but for their ability to effectively pollinate main commercial olive varieties. In a number of cases, the term acts as a synonym for the Morchiaio variety.

These trees are characterized by an upright crown and small, elliptic-lanceolate leaves. Productivity is low; the main emphasis during cultivation was placed on the production of a large quantity of pollen.

Fruits ripen late, are of medium size, and have an ovoid, slightly asymmetric shape, acquiring a violet-black color upon ripening. The trees possess good winter hardiness but show high sensitivity to peacock spot disease.
