The first reference to the presence of [[olive]] trees in the production area of [[Template:Denominazione d'Origine Protetta|DOP]] Riviera Ligure [[extra virgin olive oil]] can be found as far back as the III century B.C, although it wasn’t until the Middle Ages that there was a significant increase in numbers thanks to the Benedictine monks.

'''Gastronomy'''

[[Extra virgin olive oil]] is highly perishable and must be stored correctly in order to maintain its organoleptic characteristics.

'''Marketing'''

The product is marketed as [[Template:Denominazione d'Origine Protetta|DOP]] Riviera Ligure [[extra virgin olive oil]], accompanied by one of the following place names: Riviera dei Fiori, Riviera del Ponente Savonese or Riviera di Levante. It is sold in glass recipients of no more than 5 litres.
