Brisighella is a town in Emilia Romagna that has been known for its extreme climate since ancient Roman times and has always been considered the northern limit of olive cultivation.
But climate change and the knowledge of the right location have allowed the variety “Nostrana di Brisighella”, as it is correctly called, to settle here too.
"Nostrana di Brisighella" means "native to Brisighella"—a region that has been on the edge of the olive comfort zone since Roman times. It is the Italian counterpart to the Croatian/Slovenian variety "Bianchera," which has been growing in Austria for over 20 years and is highly praised by plant specialists for its suitability for Pannonian cultivation.
