[[Template:Denominazione d&amp;#039;Origine Protetta|DOP]] Penisola Sorrentina is an extra virgin [[olive oil]] with the following organoleptic characteristics: - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Acidity&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: max. 0.80% &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Colour&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: from green to yellow  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Aroma&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: fruity  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Flavour&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: fruity, with a hint of a pungent, bitter taste. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The production area of &amp;quot;Penisola Sorrentina&amp;quot; [[Template:Denominazione d&amp;#039;Origine Protetta|DOP]] [[oil]] includes part of the administrative area of the province of Naples, i.e. the area within the Sorrento peninsula. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The growing of [[olives]] in the peninsula of Sorrento goes back to very ancient times, when the entire area was consecrated to the worship of the goddess Minerva (the entire peninsula was in fact called &amp;quot;Cape Minerva&amp;quot;). Pilgrims coming from the Greek colonies came to fulfil their vows in the temple (delubrum) which had been built by the Focesi in honour of Minerva in what is now the commune of Massa Lubrense. The growing of [[olives]] along the Dragone river (possibly the river now called the Sarno) up to the tip of the peninsula was also justified by the fact that &lt;br /&gt;
pilgrims bought [[oil]] to be burned on the goddess&amp;#039;s altar. The current practice of growing [[olives]] together with [[citrus fruits]] goes back to the 16th century, when the Aragonese deported Jewish families to the peninsula. These Jews brought [[citrus]] trees and planted them in the plains areas, while the [[olive]] groves were in the hilly areas. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Penisola Sorrento&amp;quot; extra virgin [[olive oil]] is produced from healthy [[olives]], harvested by December 31 of each year. The per hectare yield of [[olives]] may not exceed 9,000 kg/ha in the specialised [[olive]] groves, with a maximum [[oil]] yield of 20%. The only extraction methods permitted are those physical and mechanical processes which most faithfully preserve the particular and original characteristics of the [[fruit]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Penisola Sorrentina&amp;quot; extra virgin [[olive oil]] is derived from varieties (mainly &amp;quot;Minucciola&amp;quot;) introduced in Campania by the Greeks. These varieties, from which many ecotypes have been selected during the 2000 years they have been grown, are found only in the Sorrento peninsula, proving to be not very adaptable to other environments. It is the &amp;quot;Minucciola&amp;quot; variety, called an &amp;quot;[[oil]]&amp;quot; [[olive]] and grown in this area only, which gives &amp;quot;Penisola Sorrentina&amp;quot; [[oil]] its particular characteristics. Olive trees are an essential element of the area, the culture and the environment, and over the centuries the [[olive]] has become a part of daily life in these communities. &lt;br /&gt;
