The program
“Olive growing represents the first agricultural sector in Tarsia in terms of extension and production, the majority of which is organic and PGI”, the Municipality states.
The main and undisputed cultivar is Roggianella di Tarsia, with superior quality due to the organoleptic and chemical characteristics of the oil derived from it. “History tells us that Tarsia came to have up to seven oil mills active at the same time in its small territory”, say the organizers. There are several historic companies in the area that will also allow the De.Co. brand to be presented.
Great attention is paid by the mayor Roberto Ameruso and the entire municipal administration to this sector.
As well as the “Maria Santissima” elderly club, promoter together with the administration of the initiative, which lends experience and wisdom to the new generations.
So there’s a festive atmosphere. For the oil and for the awareness of a quality now recognized and appreciated. Tarsia is ready to welcome visitors and Calabrians in love with their origins.
