Project
Olio
OLIOP is dedicated to “frontier” olive cultivation in the interior areas, where, also due to climatic changes, an increasing spread of the olive tree is observed, as in Oltrepò Pavese.
The project transfers the results of research and experimentation to agricultural companies, with particular attention to site selection, varieties resistant to late frosts, local ecotypes, and the mitigation of water stress.

More tools for the olive grower
OLIOP will contribute to the development of a more conscious, innovative, and sustainable olive cultivation, improving the companies’ skills in choosing sites, varieties, and management techniques.
The valorization of local ecotypes and the quality of the oil can also generate new opportunities for the territory, contributing to the protection of the landscape, the stability of the slopes, and the economic and environmental sustainability of the productions.
