Oli d'Italia guide 2022
Despite the consequences of climate change, Italy registered a 15% increase in oil production, with respect to 2020, approaching 2019 in terms of overall output. This year we decided to double our efforts, both when it comes to the Oli d’Italia guide, and in terms of supporting the world of extra virgin olive oil. We decided to start by bringing together all the key players, from growers to producers, from chefs to restaurant owners, into a single network. The result is the Gambero Rosso “Community Olio”, a place where people can stay up to date on the latest industry developments, but above all meet and share their needs, stories and ideas with the understanding that exchange at all levels is a key drivers of growth.
The best olive oils from Lazio
Lazio seems to be the region in central Italy that best weathered this year's decline, finishing more or less
on par with last year's performance. A region characterized by hilly, geologically rich terrain (mainly clayey
tuff in the north and rocky limestone in the south), Lazio is home to many native olive varieties and
cultivars common to central Italy in general.
