The cultivation of the olive in Chieti stretches far back in time. One historical proof of the long tradition is the existence of the remains of an ancient oil mill from the second century. Olio Extravergine d'Oliva Colline Teatine has a maximum acidity of 0.60 percent or so. Its colour ranges from green to yellow. 
       The scent may be more or less fruity, and the taste is fruity as well. If ever a justification were needed for the practice of certifying products by their place of origin, Colline Teatine provides it.

       The cultivation of the olive and the making of oil in this area express the cultural essence and define the socio-economic conditions of the local people.

       It is the oil produced in the province of Chieti, especially that produced in Vasto that emigrants from Abruzzo living in New York have made part of their tradition in the New World.
