SLOW FOOD: THE PRESIDIUM CENTURIES-OLD OLIVE TREES

News

The Slow Food Presidium of Villa Cavalletti’s ancient olive trees represents a significant example of active protection of the historic agricultural landscape of the Castelli Romani, combining quality production, sustainability and cultural enhancement of the area. Included in the national Slow Food Presidia project, it was created with the aim of safeguarding ancient olive groves, now threatened by intensive production models and loss of biodiversity, promoting instead traditional and environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
