Category: Ascolana

The name “Ascolana” is often associated with table olives, or even better with the famous Marche gastronomic specialty of the Olive Ascolane, which today is an internationally known preparation; however, the Ascolana olive is not only that: it is a cultivar from which an excellent quality EVO oil is obtained, a variety widespread especially throughout the province of Ascoli Piceno. The cultivar is characterized by large and fleshy drupes, which makes them a must-have for their use in the kitchen. Ascolana is a self-sterile variety characterized by medium resistance to cold temperatures, and low resistance to fly disease; ripening is late, and the olive oil yield production is medium. The typical Ascolana-based EVO oil is characterized by herbaceous notes, and a light tomato scent.
