Every region has some great trees that can produce great olive oil. Puglia has coratina, ogliarola and these two are very potent. The umbria olives oils are great but do not satisfy the need of a very grassy product. Speaking of the best olive oil is nonsense, as with wines many producers achieve a great product.

The writer forgot to mention Umbria, a region that consistently has produced exceptional oils for centuries. Umbria produces oil with the best olive trees known in the world Moraiolo, Leccino, Frantoiana. Particularly was left out an olive oil producer that had one of its oils rewarded as one of the best 15 olive oils in the world and a few bottles of the 2011 harvest are available here in the USA. I'm the only importer. Thank you Nice piece about the oil but unfortunately a bit incomplete.
