Content: Olive Oil Production in Tuscany: a brief overview
How much olive oil is actually produced in Tuscany, and when and how are the olives harvested? Here are a few facts and figures: the fact that Tuscan olive oil is well known and widespread in this country, deceives that the share of Tuscany in the total Italian olive oil production is rather small. It is due to the occasionally very cold winter at only 4-5%, much lower than the southern regions of the country. For example, Puglia alone accounts for more than half of Italy's total production (51%)! During the 2014/15 season, 222,000 tonnes of olive oil were produced throughout Italy, of which just over 6,000 tonnes were produced in Tuscany. This very poor harvest, which was caused by unfavorable weather conditions and massive damage by the olive fruit fly, was followed by a good harvest year. In 2015/16, production rose to 474,620 tonnes throughout Italy and 19,202 tonnes in Tuscany: an increase of 113.8%.
