Today, Calabria represents just under 15% of the national olive oil production. This is a very important source of green gold, with a history of olive cultivation that dates back to the Greek colonies of Locri, Sibari, Crotone, Squillace, and Reggio Calabria. The culture of olive growing continued with the Bruttii and Byzantines, then the Romans, before flourishing again around 1300 and reaching its peak during the Renaissance with the massive planting of olive trees that has shaped the regional landscape to this day.
