Famous Italian Cultivars Set
Famous Italian Cultivars Set
With more than 500 varieties still actively cultivated on its territory, Italy has inherited from the past a unique diversity of olive cultivars. Still, some varieties have emerged over the centuries as the most adapted for oil production, including the Taggiasca, Frantoio and Coratina.
The famous Italian cultivars set includes (see details below):
Monocultivar Frantoio by Fattoria Ramerino (Tuscany)
Monocultivar Coratina by Le 4 Contrade (Apuglia)
Extremum by Paolo Cassini (Liguria)
In this set we have selected olive oils that are outstanding expressions of three cultivars that have been widely planted: Taggiasca (Northern Italy), Frantoio (Central Italy) and Coratina (Southern Italy).
