1. Un Patrimonio da Curare / A Heritage Worth Protecting Marker
Questi olivi piantati negli anni 60/70 appartengono alla cultivar (varietà) Leccino, una varietà ampiamente diffusa in Italia, definita "a duplice attitudine" in quanto dai suoi frutti si possono ottenere sia olio che olive da tavola. L'Italia possiede un patrimonio olivicolo unico, il più cospicuo del mondo, circa 540 diverse cultivar, frutto di un'opera plurimillenaria di selezione per permettere di arrivare a una produzione di eccellente qualità. Tale biodiversità olivicola consente all'Italia di produrre innumerevoli oli, che esprimono una gamma inimitabile di sentori, flavour, sfumature sensoriali e gradi di intensità.
These olive trees planted in the 1960's-70's belong to the Leccino cultivar, an olive variety that is widespread throughout Italy and which is often defined "dual-purpose", due to the fact that its fruit can be pressed for oil or eaten as table olives. Italy possesses a peerless olive-growing heritage: the largest in the world with roughly 540 different cultivars that are the fruit of millennia of selection, allowing for productions of excellent quality.
