Olive ‘Cailletier’ (Olea europaea)
Often called
Nicoise Olive, ‘Cailletier’
is a French variety with
small, black, delicately
flavored olives that are
the primary choice for
Nicoise salads. It’s a
self-fertile olive similar
to ‘Arbequina’ and it
can be used as a table
olive or for olive oil. We recommend planting
with ‘Arbequina’ for better pollination and higher
yields. Olives are
well suited for containers since they are drought
tolerant and can take a winter chill. ‘Cailletier’ has
the traditional silvery-green foliage, and it makes a
beautiful, fruiting container plant.
