Editor's note: It is true that this extraordinary olive, one of the olive oil cultivars par excellence, although so tasty and distinctive on the table and as an ingredient in the kitchen that it has shaped the cuisine of its territory, is derived from other varieties common in many regions, but has found in Liguria, and especially within the territory of the western riviera, a micro-climate and soils that have given it a unique personality.
