The curtain rises on Flos Olei 2022, the thirteenth edition of the prestigious guide dedicated to the world of quality extra virgin olive oil, edited by the international expert Marco Oreggia (who is also its publisher) and the journalist Laura Marinelli.

The volume, produced as usual in two languages (Italian-English and Italian-Chinese), selects and describes the best 500 olive farms on the planet, from 55 different countries: the latest addition is the Sultanate of Oman. 763 extra virgin olive oils, out of the 967 that took part in the competition, are reviewed in the guide. A real atlas of the olive tree that also includes 88 world maps, with the two queen nations of production, Italy and Spain, divided by regions. An accurate description of the native varieties, oil-food gastronomic combinations and a large amount of historical and cultural information make the guide a valuable thematic vademecum, essential for all oil lovers.

There is obviously no shortage of prizes. The Hall of Fame, the world élite of extra virgin olive oil, which includes the farms awarded 100 / 100 which, after significant growth over time, have now reached a stable level of excellence, is enriched with two new entries. These are the Italian Azienda Agricola Comincioli (Lombardy) and the Spanish Casas de Hualdo (Castilla-La Mancha), which join the 6 farms already present: the Italian Frantoio Bonamini (Veneto), Frantoio Franci (Tuscany), Azienda Agraria Viola (Umbria), Americo Quattrociocchi (Lazio) and the Spanish Castillo de Canena and Aceites Finca La Torre (both from Andalucía).
