About Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Ostuni
The liquid gold of Puglia, the extraordinary olive oil produced from the ancient groves around Ostuni, protected by the Collina di Brindisi DOP designation and considered among the finest extra virgin olive oils in the world.
The olive oil produced in the ancient groves around Ostuni is one of the great agricultural products of Italy, protected by the Collina di Brindisi DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) that guarantees the geographical origin and production methods of the oil. The principal olive variety grown in this area is the Ogliarola, supplemented by Cellina, Coratina and Leccino. The resulting oil has a distinctive character: pale golden-green in colour, with a delicate fruity flavour, mild peppery finish, and the characteristic grassy, slightly bitter notes that indicate freshness and high polyphenol content. The best oils from Ostuni consistently appear in the world's leading olive oil competitions, where they compete with the finest Spanish, Greek, and other Italian oils.
