DOP10-25 €Terra d’Otranto extra virgin olive oil in Lecce
Terra d’Otranto DOP extra virgin olive oil is one of the most representative agricultural products of Salento, obtained mainly from olives of the local Cellina di Nardò and Ogliarola cultivars. It generally ranges in color from golden yellow to green and has a fruity aroma, often accompanied by light bitter and spicy notes. It is an oil intended more for raw use than for cooking, ideal on bread, vegetables, legumes, and Mediterranean dishes. Its identity is closely tied to the centuries-old olive groves that shape the rural landscape around Lecce and across much of the Salento peninsula.
