Coratina olives<\/em><\/strong> originated in the Corato area, in northern Bari, but today they are grown in most of northern Apulia.

Characteristics of Coratina oil:<\/p>\n

– Intense green colour with golden reflections<\/p>\n

– Grassy fragrance, with notes of artichoke and almond<\/p>\n

– Strong<\/em><\/strong> flavour, with slightly bitter and persistent spicy notes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
