Narrative

Information on this variety from Bulletin 720, Olive Varieties in California, by Hartman and Papaioannou, California Agricultural Experiment Station, University of California, Berkeley, February 1951: One of the standard table olives in Tunisia, North Africa, Barouni was introduced into California in 1905 by the USDA Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction. Other olive-producing countries do not grow it extensively. It is the most recent variety to be planted on a commercial scale in California. It was widely planted throughout the state, particularly in Butte County, about 1920 and 1925. A typical Barouni tree is medium in size - 15 to 25 feet tall - with a moderately spreading top. Barouni is somewhat more susceptible to olive knot than the Mission. It is more resistant to peacock spot than the Mission. The most noteworthy feature of Barouni is its tendency to bear satisfactory crops each year. It is probably the most consistent bearer of all the commerical varieties grown in California. Barouni fruits are usually harvested in October or early November, about the same time as Manzanillo, but after Ascolano and before Sevillano and Mission. This variety is difficult to process satisfactorily. An appreciable quantitiy, however, is canned ripe. A large percentage (500 to 700 tons) is shipped fresh to eastern cities, for home-processing. Barouni is of doubtful value for the Spanish-green process because of the reddish color that sometimes develops near the pit and of its tough and woody texture after processing. Because of its relatively low oil content - 13 to 18 per cent - it is of very little value for oil extraction. The fruit is borne singly or rarely in twos, on medium-sized peduncles. Early in the stage of final maturity, the exposed side of the fruit turns reddish-purple. The color at maturity is reddish-black. (See Bulletin 720 for additional information)
