Italien startet mit Produktion von Olivenöl der „alten Römer“
Rom entdeckt seine Wurzeln wieder, auch in der Gastronomie. So kommt jetzt das Olivenöl der „alten Römer“ auf den Markt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Öl, das von den rund 200 Olivenbäumen am Palatin stammt, dem Hügel unweit des Kolosseums.

„Palatinum“ heißt das Erzeugnis, auf den Flaschen ist der Mosaikboden eines altrömischen Hauses am Hügel Palatin zu sehen.
Das Öl soll von der EU-Kommission das Siegel IGP (geschützte geografische Angabe, Anm.) erhalten, berichtete der italienische Landwirtschaftsverband Coldiretti am Freitag.

With this goal in mind, the PArCo has gone forward with a series of projects in the past few months aimed at developing and promoting the natural heritage of the Palatine Hill through local food culture.
Palatinum: presenting the extra virgin olive oil produced from the olive trees that grow on the Palatine, sharing the land with the site’s millennia-long history. “The project, fruit of a collaboration with Coldiretti Lazio and OP Latium, was created to celebrate the role that agriculture played in the ancient world and which was at the basis of the Romans’ material and ethical wealth”, says Alfonsina Russo, Director of the Parco archeologico del Colosseo, “The olive harvest adds to the charm of our landscape here, taking advantage of the roughly 200 olive trees present throughout the PArCo. Our project also has the noble intention of preventing these resources from going to waste, using them to create products of agricultural and cultural quality through an educational program open to the public concerning oil production, olive harvest techniques and the historical evolution of olive cultivation”, concludes Alfonsina Russo.

Una occasione unica per conoscere il patrimonio olivicolo del PArCo la cui cura è stata affidata a Coldiretti ed Unaprol per la raccolta delle olive, la produzione e il confezionamento dell’olio estratto -chiamato “Palatinum” -, identificato da un’apposita etichetta creata per l'occasione, ispirata agli affreschi della Casa dei Grifi sul Palatino.
