Abruzzo currently has over 9 million plants with more than forty cultivated varieties, some of which represent, in terms of quality and quantity, the basis of the 200 quintals of oil produced each year, 90% extra virgin olive oil and mostly cultivated with organic methods, with three oils that have obtained the European DOP recognition and that enhance the cultivar-territory binomial, identifying the different production areas within the region.
