Canino

Canino (Caninese) is a small Italian olive that is spherical in shape and black in color. Canino olive variety is most often used to produce olive oil.
The oil content of these olives is in the lower range (about 14 – 15%) but the Canino olive oil is considered a good quality oil so the olives are grown primarily for oil. The olives mature in December. The tree needs another type of olive tree to cross-pollinate with. Other names of Canino olives: Caminese, Canina, Montignoso.
