The recent history of agriculture is full of catastrophes due to the onset or development of new pathogens or parasites: these events can be limited to certain continents, as has happened to the potato plant in Europe, the coffee plantations in South East Asia, to the pear and citrus fruit-trees
The olive tree is native to tropical Africa, but over the course of millions of years, due to geological events (the increase in altitude of the Central African mountain range) and climate change (desertification of the Sahara) has moved towards colder areas and has adapted to the environment of the
In Italy about 700 varieties of olive trees have been identified, described and characterized, out of a total of just over 1,500 reported in all olive-growing countries.
The sensorial facets of a single extra virgin olive oil Under the wider meaning of the concept of “quality” comes the “uniqueness” of an extra virgin olive oil, a characteristic that is associated with the production of extra virgin olive oils of single origin. An extra virgin olive oil is
In recent years there has been a rapid evolution of eating styles increasingly attentive to the various elements that contribute to defining quality in terms of “uniqueness”: the consumption of products with a substantially homologated taste is increasingly accompanied by that of products with their own pronounced identity. Some
In the last ten years the olive and olive oil industry has gradually changed, mostly due to increasing reliance on the so-called “super intensive systems”
Based on the indications provided by producers, this year ISMEA estimates Italian production of olive oil will be as low as 185,000 tonnes (- 57% compared to last year).
