Nocellara del Belice Olives are large, plump olives that make both good table olives and good olive oil.
When being used for oil, the olives are harvested early to get a light, fruity oil.
For table olives, they are harvested when they reach a brownish-green.
The tree is a good producer, but needs another pollinator.
Grown primarily in the Trapani area of Sicily.
