THE COOPERATIVE - THE PRODUCER
Promoted by the ACLI of Avellino, the A.P.O.O.A.T. SOC COOP. was founded in 1979 as an association of
olive oil producers with the aim of protecting the sector and providing assistance to members for access to
Community production aid. Over the years, the Cooperative has distinguished itself by carrying out
initiatives aimed at improving the quality of production and has also started a production and marketing
activity of extra-virgin olive oil with the aim of aggregating the micro-productions of the members in a
single offer of greater commercial value. The experience gained in the characteristics of the traditional olive
cultivation of the territory, together with the conviction of the importance of performing production
characterised by a close link with the territory, have led the cooperative to produce monovarietal oils
obtained from the pure milling of the native cultivars of the Irpino and Benevento cultivation area.
MARINESE - THE CULTIVAR

productivity. Marinese oils are characterised by a medium level of fruitiness, a medium level of bitterness
and spiciness, with prevailing herbaceous notes and light hints of artichoke, fresh almond and tomato.
