Sunday, Oct. 27, marks theeighth National Day of Walking Among the Olive Trees, a unique date for all Oil Cities that are members of theNational Association of Oil Cities.
There are 144 Oil Cities that on the occasion of the Walk among the Olives will organize outdoor walks in olive groves, visits to mills and ancient olive trees, oil tastings, tasting classes and much more to tell about the goodness of our oil and the beauty of our landscape.
In Abruzzo, there are 6 Oil Cities participating in the day: Città Sant’Angelo, Fossacesia, Moscufo, Controguerra, Sant’Omero and Casoli, each with its own program of events that can be viewed on the page Walk among the Olive Trees.
There will be many itineraries to discover the millennial olive trees to raise awareness of the use of qualityEVO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) in a balanced diet to prevent cancer, reduce liver disease and the onset of other chronic degenerative diseases. Therefore, in addition to the walks, moments of popularization will be organized that aim to promote in participants the knowledge of the health properties of EVO oil, a timeless and unbeatable ally of health, emphasizing its beneficial properties and promoting its proper daily consumption. The Camminata tra gli Olivi over time is changing its skin and becoming more and more an event dedicated to raising public awareness of important social issues. The 2024 edition is promoted with the slogan “Saving an Olive Grove Saves Lives” is therefore linked to an important issue concerning a rampant phenomenon as well as a real social emergency that affects the entire national territory: the abandonment of traditional and historical olive growing.
The olive tree is a tree that carries a history of more than 6,000 years throughout the Mediterranean basin and is a strong symbol of fertility and rebirth, so we want to start from the bottom to make a real moral battle so that we can counteract the loss of our olive heritage.
Alongside this main theme are two other important initiatives so that all activities are linked by a common thread: these are the social campaign “Saving an Olive Grove Saves Lives” and the initiative in favor of the Italian Liver Foundation Onlus, a crowdfunding for the research project on “The effect of EVO oil in avoiding complications of fatty liver.”
If walking is good for your health, including quality EVO oil in a balanced diet will help prevent disease and live better.
