Peranzana

Denomination and synonyms

Origin and diffusion

Italian cultivar present in the Apulia region, with the most widespread area in the north-west of the Foggia province. The same genotype, under the name of Bosana, represents the most important cultivar of Sardinia island, meanwhile under other names is cultivated in Molise and Marche regions. In Apulia, its overall diffusion is about 5,000-6,000 ha.

Agronomic characterisation and commercial considerations

Variety with low rooting ability by cutting (~23%). The entry into production is late and its productivity is low (cumulative production at the fifth year: ~16 Kg). It has an intermediate and short flowering period. The self-fertility rate is very low (~4%), with high ovary abortion (~40%). Fruit veraison is medium and extended, while oil accumulates fastly in intermediate period.Oil yield is medium-low (~15%) and its chemical composition shows a low oleic acid (~66%) and total phenol content. This cultivar shows a medium-low susceptibility to olive leaf spot and a low susceptibility to olive knot.The late bearing and the medium-low oil content represent a limit to a wider diffusion of Peranzana cultivar, which instead represents an important reference for the qualitative aspects of the oil (Manzi et al., 1999; Rotondi et al., 2010).
