Italian olive oil travel on a cruise

by S. C.

Two main associations based in Cosenza (Calabria Region), Coldiretti and Assoproli, involved Costa Concordia, the biggest Italian passengers boat, in a special project with the aim to promote the local extra-virgin olive oil, which is included in a larger territory and typical products development plan.

More than 4.000 Mediterranean cruise guests could appreciate the Dop Bruzio extra-virgin olive oils and the certificated oils offered by two companies of Corigliano Calabro (Cosenza), Oleara Geraci and Frantoio Figoli, which produce extra-virgin oils of extraordinary quality with the Pieralisi new generation plants.

In addition to the 1.500 oil bottles offered by two companies to the guests, during the cruise have been organised exposition areas and tasting courses with the oil samples of the associated companies.
