Mata (Matto di Pirano)
The Mata olive variety has long been present in Slovenian Istria and is considered a rare representative of the wild olive group (Olea Europaea Oleaster).
A medium-sized Mata olive tree with flat green leaves. The fruits when ripe are dark purple, medium-large, ovoid, and very fleshy. Mata fruits contain very little olive oil, ripen unevenly and fall off early. Usually, the crop is harvested at the end of October. Mata olives are very resistant to cold, which is very suitable for their cultivation in Slovenia, one of the northernmost olive regions.
