Olive cultivation in the Perugia area has been documented since the Etruscan and Roman periods. During the Middle Ages, oil became a central element of the agricultural economy and urban diet. The hills around Perugia have maintained a fragmented, family-based production that has remained stable over time. This continuity has preserved a production model tied to quality and everyday use.
