Olive variety rankings — which cultivar leads on what

Every cultivar with a published measurement, ranked on each axis — and, before the tables, how the ranking is built.

How the ranking is built

Only published measurements — every figure comes from a named source: an academic study, a Türkpatent registration certificate, or the IOC catalogue. The source is printed beside each row. Nothing is estimated.
Qualitative values are not ranked — “medium-large” or “high” cannot be placed in an order. Cultivars described only in words do not appear in that axis.
Ranges are ordered by their midpoint — a source giving 24-28% is placed at 26, but the range itself is what you see. Rounding a source to one number would alter it.
Bounds are excluded — “above 22%” is not a measurement but a floor. It stays on the cultivar's own page and is left out of the ranking.
When sources disagree — if one study measured several axes of a cultivar, that study's set is used whole, so its internal consistency is not broken. Where no such set exists, the mean of the sources is taken and the row says so.
The count is stated — each axis says how many cultivars it covers. This is a comparison of what is known, not of every Turkish cultivar.

A cultivar's absence from a ranking does not mean it is poor on that axis — it means no published figure was found. Gaps are listed on the variety index.
