Aglandau

Aglandau is a vigorous and time-honored French olive cultivar originating in Provence, where it has been cultivated for centuries for its exceptional oil quality. The tree has an upright to spreading growth habit and is valued for its strong vigor, consistent productivity, and good tolerance to wind and cooler Mediterranean conditions. Its fruit is medium to large in size and yields a bold, complex extra-virgin olive oil with pronounced green character, featuring notes of fresh-cut grass, artichoke, green almond, and a distinctive peppery finish. Aglandau is partially self-fertile, but fruit set improves with cross-pollination from cultivars such as Picholine, Salonenque, or Cayon. Celebrated for its intensity, structure, and classic Provençal profile, Aglandau remains a cornerstone variety for producers seeking expressive, high-quality olive oil.
