Ancient Cultivars

There are more than 3000 varieties of olive trees in the world and today we can know for sure which ones are present in our soils through DNA analysis.

In centuries past, it was oral tradition and visual observation of the plant that enabled recognition, but with the passing of the centuries, these 2 tools can mislead and today are no longer sufficient.

In the case of centuries-old olive trees, oral tradition can be lost and visual observation changes our perspective because the plants can change their appearance over the years due to viruses that alter the shape of the leaf and fruit.

From this it follows that plants over 100 years old can be mistaken for other cultivars.
Our company is proud to declare that thanks to the results obtained through DNA analysis in its plots, there are centuries-old plants of:

Vera or Verella
