We were not sure what to find, as a few years ago the region suffered from Xylella Fastidiosa<\/strong>, a bacteria that destroys<\/strong> many plants<\/strong>, including olive trees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Between Bari<\/strong> and Ostuni<\/strong> we could see kilometers and kilometers of olive groves between the mountains and the Adriatic sea with green centenary olive trees<\/strong>. But further south, in Salento, we saw up close the devastation of the dry olive groves<\/strong>. A sad image to behold.<\/p>\n

However, for seven years<\/strong>, olive producers have been implementing a protocol to control the disease<\/strong> and results are already being seen<\/strong>. Including some oils awarded at the NYIOOC<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

It requires removing plants that may contain transmission vectors<\/strong> and spraying the trees with a biological antibacterial solution<\/strong>. A cure has not yet been found, but following the recommendations has been key to controlling the pest in olive groves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the airport we found this sign. The attention and responsibility towards the Puglia olive grove belongs to everyone who visits the region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
