The name of the Arbequina variety comes from the Catalan town of Arbeca. It was the Duke of Medinaceli and Barón de Arbeca who introduced this variety to Spain, originating from Palestine. Its primary areas of production are Catalonia and Aragon, although today this variety has been planted in Spain as well as around the world. It is recognised for its great potential in intensive and super-intensive production.

The fruit is small and round. The small size can be a problem in its collection using tree shaker however it can is very well adapted to super-intensive collecting systems.
