Table olives

Table olives

Cultivation, processing, marketing

When you think of olives, you think of oil, but an emerging sector of great interest for Italian olive growing is table olives. There's no doubt that Italy's olive growing heritage, characterized by remarkable varietal biodiversity, has the potential to secure its rightful place in the market, thanks to the product's outstanding organoleptic characteristics, opening up new prospects for existing olive groves and those under planting. The author summarizes in this volume useful information for managing the entire supply chain, from cultivar selection, with a focus on productivity and product quality, to new cultivation techniques, to the section dedicated to processing and marketing the finished product. The book also explores in depth the analyses required to ensure product quality, both objectively and sensorially, European and national regulations regarding production and marketing, and the technical requirements of potential processing facilities, with particular attention to self-monitoring procedures.
