Città dell'olio

Since 2014, Controguerra has been a member of the National Association of Olive Oil Cities, as recognition of the work done and a further commitment to safeguarding quality olive growing.

Founded in December 1994 in Larino (Campobasso), the Ovile Oil City Association brings together Municipalities, Provinces, Mountain Communities and Chambers of Commerce with a clear olive-growing vocation and undertakes to promote extra virgin olive oil as a fundamental product in agricultural tradition, food and culture of our country, enhancing its production territories.

One of the main tasks of the Association is to disseminate the culture of the olive tree and quality olive oil; protect and promote the environment and the olive landscape; spread the history of olive growing; guarantee the consumer through the enhancement of designations of origin; implement communication and marketing strategies aimed at gaining knowledge of the great Italian olive-growing heritage.
