“ Oil & Health ” is the theme of this edition of the Walk among the Olives promoted with the close alliance of the Italian League for the Fight against Cancer (LILT) and the Italian Liver Foundation (FIF).

Walking is good for your health but including quality extra virgin olive oil in a balanced diet helps prevent tumors and reduce liver disease and the onset of other chronic degenerative diseases. «I am particularly proud of this project which aims to promote one of the excellences of our territory, namely extra virgin olive oil, in a perfect combination of taste and health – said the agriculture councilor Valeria Satta -. The qualities of our extra virgin olive oil are known everywhere since our climatic and geographical peculiarities make a product with exceptional organoleptic characteristics also thanks to the thousand-year-old olive growing culture of our populations."
