The Olive is present in Eighteen out of Twenty regions in Italy. There are at least 400 cultivars growing in Italy. In Italy we eat according to the Region and Season. Regional Olive Varietals compliment the food.
Around this time of the year we buy our yearly consumption from a nearby farm. We also buy smaller bottles of extra virgin olive oil from other regions. They will be used depending on each dish. The idea in Italian cooking is to combine, not over power flavor. The Olive Oil and Wine Compliments the food we eat.
