The entry into production is early and its productivity is high (cumulative production at the fifth year: ~57 Kg) and constant. It has an intermediate and long flowering period. Maurino is a self-sterile cultivar, with medium-low ovary abortion (~8%). The fruit veraison is quite early, as the olive oil accumulation.Oil yield is low (~13-16%) and oil shows a medium content of oleic acid (~68-70 %) and medium-low content of total phenols. This cultivar shows a low susceptibility to olive knot and olive leaf spot.Due to its early bearing, the good and constant productivity and the low vigour, Maurino is suitable for intensive and super-intensive cultivation systems.
