The extra-virgin olive oil Terra d'Otranto is produced with the olive cultivars Cellina di Nardò and Ogliarola for, at least, 60%.[1] They are mixed with other minor varieties of the local olive groves. Its name is linked with the historical region of Terra d'Otranto which included almost all the municipalities of the current provinces of Taranto, Brindisi and Lecce. It is recognised as PDO product.[citation needed]
The cultivation of the olive tree in Terra d'Otranto has been introduced by the Greeks and by Phoenicians. Nevertheless, after the cessation of this activity during the Middle Ages, the Basilian monks started the first booming market of olive oil of this territory.[2]
The extra-virgin olive oil Terra d'Otranto is light yellow with green shades. It has a fruity taste with some light bitter and spicy aroma. It is perfect for pasta, vegetables and legumes, but it can be used also with secondo courses.
