Olive Oil

The Olive tree is an integral component of Tuscan rural landscape. Olive cultivation had been the main economic resource of the hilly territories of the Pisa province for centuries. Nowadays the olive-growing is still an important part of the agricultural sector, thanks to the wide olive planted area and its role in environment protection and landscape conservation.
