1. is the Italian word for olive oil processing plant where the extraction of olive oil occurs.
2. is a varietal of an olive tree and is the most noted olive oil variety of Tuscany, Italy, and one of the most highly acclaimed oil varieties in the world. It is grown commercially in most olive growing regions including Italy, North Africa, Australia, Argentina, and California.
3. Also known in Australia as the varietal named ‘Paragon’
