Maalot

The Maalot olive is an Eastern Mediterranean cultivar derived from the North African Chemlali olive cultivar. It is primarily grown in Israel. The Chemlali olive, also known as Chemlal or Chamlal, is a popular variety in North Africa, particularly in Tunisia. These olives are only used for olive oil production.
The Maalot olive inherited some of the characteristics of the parent Chemlali olive, such as size, shape, color, and flavor, but may have adapted to the specific growing conditions and environment in Israel.
