What is "hojiblanca"

Hojiblanca (literally translated, "white leaf" in Spanish) is an olive cultivar from Spain. It represents 16% of the olive production in Andalucia and is grown mainly in the Spanish provinces of Seville, Cordoba and northern Málaga. It is collected late in the season (March-April), as black ripe olives for eating. These olives are popular table olives, and are also used to produce oil, though the oil content is lower than some popular Spanish olive cultivars like the Picual.
