History: The oleum story, we mean olive oil, is a long one (quoted in the Old Testament and Koran) which has accompanied the development of civilisation and Mediterranean culture both as a food dressing and used for massages and in cosmetics. We better remember it was used by the ancient Romans, on a par with money, to pay taxes. The effectiveness of olive oil, a food rich in oleic acid and natural anti-oxidant substances, has been demonstrated in numerous medical tests. It aids the prevention of various illnesses amongst which are diabetes, obesity, cancer, aging and protects against excess of cholesterol, cardiovascular disease.
The varieties of Marche cultivars which must be remembered are: Coroncina, Rosciola, Sargano, Orbetana, Mignola, Carboncella, Raggia e Raggiola, Piantone di Falerone, Piantone di Mogliano.
