Hey friends, welcome back to F + K. There are so many olive oil labels in the marketplace, and often the purchase decision can be confusing. Consumers find difficulties between regions and countries. All they want is the right quality product to consume. We all have heard of Sicilian, Tuscan, Apulian, and other olive oils connected to various regions and countries but how to buy can be a burden. Today, I'll offer an overview of oil from Marche, the central-eastern part of Italy, one of the most underrated EVO, but making waves among chefs and foodies. Marche PGI (Protected Geographic Indication), extra virgin olive oil is obtained from several olive varietals such as the soft Ascolana, Carboncella, Coroncina, Mignola, and many others. Marche grows as many as 16 different fruits and at least 85% of the groves. To better understand: olive oil can be a single cultivar (one varietal in the bottle) or mixed. For the proper production method, the olives must be harvested directly from the tree, either manually or mechanically. Before milling, the olives must be defoliated and washed with water at ambient temperature.
