The Frangivento is a medium-sized olive grown for oil, with an oil yield of 15 to 17%.

The tree needs another type of olive tree to pollinate it. The olives mature in the middle of November.

History Notes

Native to Puglia.

Language Notes

Its name, Frangivento, which means “wind break”, is owing to the shape of the tree. Because the branches grow upright like a column, the tree is often grown as a wind-break. Its other name, Cipressino, refers to its shape again, in that it is shaped like a Cyprus tree.

‘Another novelty is the tea-party, an extraordinary meal in that, being offered to persons that have already dined well, it supposes neither appetite nor thirst, and has no object but distraction, no basis but delicate enjoyment.’ — Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (French food writer. 1 April 1755 – 2 February 1826)
