Italian extra virgin olive oil: the passion and excellence of the Peranzana cultivar

Introduction:

Italy is renowned for its excellent production of extra virgin olive oil, a fundamental ingredient of the Mediterranean diet.

Among the various olive cultivars present in our country, Peranzana stands out for its extraordinary characteristics and the quality of its oil, embodying the passion and excellence of Italian extra virgin olive oil.

Let’s discover together the fascinating history behind this cultivar and the secret of the success of Peranzana extra virgin olive oil.

The history and origins of Peranzana:

The Peranzana cultivar has ancient origins and its roots are in the Puglia region, particularly in the province of Foggia.

The name “Peranzana” probably derives from “Provenzana”, a reference to Provence, France, where it is believed that this cultivar was originally grown before being introduced to Italy.

Peranzana was then adopted and valued by Puglian farmers, who passed it down from generation to generation.

Characteristics of the Peranzana cultivar:

It is a medium-sized cultivar with lanceolate leaves of intense green color. Peranzana trees are very resistant and adapt well to both mild and harsh climates.

The olives produced are medium-sized and have an oval shape. The Peranzana olives are harvested between October and November, and the fruit is then transformed into a precious extra virgin olive oil.

The Peranzana extra virgin olive oil and its organoleptic qualities:

Peranzana extra virgin olive oil is distinguished by its particular organoleptic characteristics. It has a golden yellow color with green reflections and an intense aroma of freshly cut grass, almond, and artichoke.

The flavor is fruity and slightly spicy, with a bitter aftertaste that leaves a pleasant feeling of freshness in the mouth.

Thanks to these peculiarities, Peranzana extra virgin olive oil is particularly appreciated by connoisseurs and is used both raw, to dress salads and appetizers, and in the preparation of various Italian dishes.
