The National Monovarietal Olive Oils Review aims to enhance the Italian olive heritage and the unique characteristics of native varieties through monovarietal oils. Unlike many national and international competitions that evaluate the best and most harmonious oils, this event is not a contest. Instead, it contributes to characterizing monovarietal oils obtained from numerous Italian native varieties. These oils reflect chemical and sensory traits linked to their genetic heritage, harmonizing with the pedoclimatic characteristics of the territory where these varieties have been cultivated for centuries.
Such oils are not directly comparable, and their appreciation often depends on consumers’ tastes and their potential pairing with different dishes.
