Its cultivation in Spain is concentrated in the provinces of Seville (60,000 ha), Badajoz (30,000 ha) and Huelva (4,000 ha). Outside Spain it is also grown in Portugal, the United States, Israel, Argentina and Australia. D. Barranco & L.

It has a medium rooting capacity, both by staking and by semi-ligneous staking in nebulisation. It enters into production early. It has a medium flowering period and its pollen has a high germination capacity. In Spain it is grown without pollinators. However, an increase in fruit set has been observed with cross-pollination and the need for pollinators in other countries. Productivity is high and alternating. Its ripening period is early and it is highly resistant to detachment. In Spain it is harvested green for dressing by fermentation in the "Sevillian" style and in the United States it is harvested at veraison, for dressing in black by oxidation, in the "Californian" style. It is the most internationally appreciated table variety for its productivity and fruit quality. On the other hand, its oil content is medium and of high quality and stability. It is easy to separate the pulp from the stone. It is considered susceptible to root asphyxia, iron chlorosis in calcareous soils and winter cold. It is very sensitive to verticillium and susceptible to repilo, tuberculosis, leprosy and fly. D. Barranco & L. Rallo 2005
