Atina. Single Variety Marina Olive Oil

Atina. Single Variety Marina Olive Oil

This local Atina olive Cultivar is called Marina and has a little voluminous foliage, short branches to the fruit, small pale green leaves.

The variety was introduced in the eighteenth century by the Marini family, pharmacists who brought it here from the heights between France and Spain.

The oil is healthy, tasty and sought after, always linked to the people of the enchanting Comino Valley, where the medieval town of Atina is located on a top of a hill.

The olive tree was introduced by the Samnites to the area in the first centuries BC.
