While it originated in Tuscany, it is now grown all over the world and does well in California and the northwest. Its olive oil flavor is delicate so it’s most commonly blended with Pendolino. But its also interplanted and blended with other varieties such as Frantoio, Coratina and Moraiolo and others, to produce more flavor.
