Due to its delicate flavor, the olive oil it produces is commonly blended with Frantoio, Coratina, Moraiolo and Pendolino in order to create more flavor.

[2] The Leccino tree grows well in cooler climates,[2] but is not as tolerant to heat as Spanish olive cultivars.

It is not self-pollinating and requires the presence of another cultivar, commonly Pendolino, in order to fruit.

[4] Leccino has made its appearance in other countries over the past 50 years with the growing popularity of olive oil.

It is commonly grown in California,[2] Chile and Australia among other olive oil growing regions.
