From our land, our olive oil
Love for the land, our region, and quality, along with the commitment to protect and preserve the local olive landscape while promoting the cultural, sustainable, and health benefits of extra virgin olive oil from the Coratina variety, has led La Preferita OP Pugliese to include the production and packaging of extra virgin olive oil among its activities. This oil is made exclusively from Coratina olives harvested from farms associated with the OP.
Traditional cultivation techniques and the preservation of centuries-old olive trees have been enhanced by innovative processing methods to produce a high-quality extra virgin olive oil that embodies the beauty and richness of the Puglian region.
100% coratina
The main protagonist of this region is the “Coratina,” the quintessential Puglian cultivar, which derives its name from the city of Corato, with historical evidence tracing its origins.
From these vigorous and highly productive trees, we obtain oil with a green color and yellow-gold reflections, characterized by an intense fruity flavor and a well-balanced sensation of bitterness and spiciness, due to the high presence of polyphenols and antioxidants, accompanied by notes of fresh grass, artichoke, and almond.
These compounds, which have significant health benefits, make the Coratina one of the richest varieties in the world, boasting a polyphenol content nearly three times higher than most Italian cultivars. This gives the extra virgin olive oil produced from Coratina olives an important role in cancer prevention, protection against degenerative diseases, and slowing the aging process.
PDO Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Terra di Bari - Castel del Monte
The producer organization La Preferita OP Pugliese has joined the control system for the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Terra di Bari with the additional geographical mention “Castel del Monte” for its certified productions.
The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Terra di Bari – Castel del Monte, reserved for extra virgin olive oil that meets the requirements set out in the specific regulations, guarantees the exclusively local origin and processing of the olives used, which endow the product with unique characteristics and qualities that cannot be replicated outside the borders of the province of Bari. This makes it the pinnacle of a product with an ancient history.
