Extra-virgin olive oil<\/strong> is the most characteristic of all Puglia<\/strong>\u2019s food produce, its intense bouquet<\/strong> an act of generosity to our senses. We cannot help but enjoy it \u2013 indeed, using Apulian olive oil<\/strong> for Mediterranean cuisine<\/strong> is like putting on a crown and feeling like a king.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t imagine Puglia without olive trees, both the majestic ones, and the slimline but just as productive ones.<\/p>\n

The olive tree<\/strong> has been cultivated here since the first millennium BC<\/strong>, and there are ancient trees<\/strong> whose imposing presence almost takes your breath away.<\/p>\n

Living beings, breathing with us, wrapped in a blanket of wind that twists and turns them until they look as if Mother Nature had purposely sculpted them that way. Olive trees<\/strong> that tell of years of back-breaking toil and of undying love.<\/p>\n

There are over 50 million olive trees<\/strong> here in Puglia, making it the world\u2019s leading producer<\/strong> of olive oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pruning, harvesting and squeezing the olives, then bottling the juice \u2013 actions we carry out with a sort of atavistic dedication. For us Apulians, every single drop of olive oil<\/strong> is precious<\/strong>, so much so that this has led to a thousand and one stories being invented to prevent waste \u2013 spilling olive oil brings bad luck, for example.<\/p>\n

Pour a little oil onto a slice of bread<\/strong> and savour the taste: it will uncover a world of flavours and images that you will no longer be able to do without.<\/p>\n

Puglia<\/strong> is full of olive groves<\/strong> that express the nature of the soil and the very image of the region<\/strong>, fields of olive trees bordered by dry stone walls<\/strong>, in a fascinating, timeless landscape. Majestic trunks<\/strong> supporting luxuriant, silvery-green foliage <\/strong>glistening in the sun; and when the rains come to the olive trees, Puglia is blessed by love and flavour.\"\"<\/p>\n

There are several types: Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Collina di Brindisi extra virgin olive oil<\/strong>, for example, produced in Cisternino<\/strong>, Ostuni<\/strong>, Ceglie Messapica<\/strong>, San Vito dei Normanni<\/strong>, is made mostly from the Ogliarola<\/strong>, Cellina di Nard\u00f2<\/strong>, Coratina<\/strong> and Leccino<\/strong> varietals.<\/p>\n

Dauno PDO extra-virgin olive oil<\/strong>, on the other hand, comes from Foggia province.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Terra d’Otranto PDO extra-virgin olive oil<\/strong> is produced in the Salento<\/strong> using Cellina di Nard\u00f2<\/strong> and Ogliarola<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While the oils in the Terra di Bari PDO<\/strong> are from olives such as Coratina<\/strong>, Cima di Bitonto<\/strong> and Cima di Mola<\/strong>; brands include Olio di Castel del Monte<\/strong>, and Olio della Murgia dei Trulli e delle Grotte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We can also choose from various types of olive oil<\/strong>: we might prefer a harmonious, intense taste<\/strong>, or an olive oil with an almondy scent, or else a decidedly fruity oil for true connoisseurs<\/strong>, or the slightly pungent<\/strong>, bitter oil that itches the back of your throat, or a sweeter green oil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Apulian olive oil is also exquisitely healthy<\/strong>, with its high oleic acid <\/strong>content, which helps prevent cardiovascular diseases as well as lowering the amount of bad cholesterol in the blood.<\/p>\n

Our oil comes in various qualities: the more delicate golden yellow<\/strong> oils, good for raw dishes<\/strong>; the more intense yellow <\/strong>oils, ideal for steamed dishes<\/strong> and the greenish<\/strong> ones, great for roasts<\/strong> or preserving vegetables<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Take a little oil and sniff it: images of bread and tomato<\/strong> might come into your mind straight away. Does it have that velvety consistency<\/strong> that makes it feel like you\u2019re tasting it already? Dip a fingertip in and have a taste: it will be bitter sweet with a tingle of saltiness, dry leaves and the white drapes <\/strong>which were once used for the olive harvest.<\/p>\n

The flavour reminds us of playing<\/strong> in the kitchen while Mum cooked our dinner or relaxing<\/strong> in front of the fire. Apulian gold makes everyone happy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
