The irrigation of olive orchards is commonly applied to produce table olives with optimal size. No data have been published on the microbiological quality of drupes from irrigated olive groves during fermentation. The trials T100 and T50 (receiving a water amount equivalent to 100 % and 50 % of the required amount, respectively) and control T0 (rainfed trial) were monitored during two consecutive years. The results showed a significant increase of equatorial diameter and flesh:pit ratio of irrigated drupes. The decrease of pH and the numbers of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) registered for the irrigated trials during the fermentation were more consistent than those displayed by control T0. Lactobacillus pentosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus coryniformis, and Pediococcus pentosaceus for LAB and Candida boidinii, Candida diddensiae, and Wickerhamomyces anomalus for yeasts were isolated at the highest concentrations. The global sensory acceptance was better for irrigated trials than control T0. The statistical multivariate analysis showed that the effect of irrigation was independent of the seasonal variability and it clearly distinguished the T100 and T50 trials from rainfed control. Irrigation improves significantly the quality of table olives. Interestingly, all explorative multivariate analyses showed low dissimilarity between irrigated trials; thus, the thesis T50 represents an effective approach to save water in olive orchards without compromising the quality of table olives.
