A modern dual-purpose cultivar bred originally from Kadesh Barnea in southern Israel by Professor Shimon Lavee to be disease-resistant and to produce a generous crop. The oil has a strong flavour with a hint of green leaf. Barnea is widely grown in Israel and the southern hemisphere, particularly in Argentina, Australia, India and New Zealand. It has also been introduced to Northern California. The best pollinizer is the Picual. Also known as K-18 in Al-Jouf, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Palestine.
