Tosca 07 grown in a commercial high density orchardART-2014-85901A high density olive orchard represents a new planting system that requires cultivars with low vegetative vigor, such as Arbequina and Arbosana varieties. Different cultivars provide different performances in such orchards. This research was performed in order to determine the behavior of the new olive variety Tosca 07 in a commercial, high density orchard. The quality of Tosca 07 olive oils in three different maturity degrees during two crops seasons by physico-chemical and nutritional characterization were compared with Arbequina olive oils obtained from trees grown under the same conditions. Tosca 07 is a very interesting olive variety for high ensity orchards. Because of its early ripening, it would be suitable for early harvesting, and this could be interesting for avoiding cold temperatures, frost, etc. Tosca 07 olive oils have also demonstrated a very suitable chemical composition in comparison with Arbequina olive oils, especially for their high content of antioxidant compounds (a-tocopherol and pigments) present within the oils.2014http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/13040510.1007/s11746-013-2408-8http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/130405oai:zaguan.unizar.es:130405JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN OIL CHEMISTS SOCIETY 91, 4 (2014), 613-622All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
