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. Its 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.
