Flos Olei 2021 | a guide to the world of extra virgin olive oil

Flos Olei 2021 – a guide to the world of extra virgin olive oil – is the first Guide dealing on an international scale with oil farms all over the world and extra virgin olive oils, strictly selected by a panel of expert tasters coordinated by Marco Oreggia, editor and publisher of the volume.

The Guide, written in two languages (Italian-English and Italian-Cinese), consists of a presentation of the olive growing sector in 54 countries belonging to 5 continents and also contains a description of the Italian and Spanish regions, supplying historical and cultural information, production data, typical varieties and areas protected by names of origin.

The detailed cartography includes both the best olive areas and the ones protected by names of origin. Moreover every farm is described in a card with notes about oil tasting and gastronomic matches. In the existing publishing industry the Guide aims at representing a new and stimulating product about the delicate sector of olive growing and is therefore written as an effective, modern and universal means of information.

Thanks to the careful and quality work behind it the Guide will be a point of reference for all consumers interested in good food and for national and international workers of the sector.
