Produced in the province of Latina, located in the Lazio region, Colline Pontine extra virgin olive oil is predominantly made from the Itrana cultivar, a particularly large and fleshy variety, introduced to the wider Latina region by the refugees from ancient Sparta.
Depending on the harvesting period, the color of Colline Pontine oil varies from an intense yellow to bright green. It has a distinct aroma of green tomatoes, and a fruity to bitter taste. Apart from the top quality oil products, the Itrana olives are also largely consumed as table olives, marketed under the name of
Gaeta olives.
