Olive defines the Mediterranean belt where there is an irreplaceable agricultural culture, especially on the islands, for the cultivation of which in this area there are the most favourable living conditions. On the slopes of the western part of the island of Korcula, with the care and effort of farmers, indigenous olive varieties of swallows, small ruminants and forms are grown, whose ideal ratio provides a highly valuable raw material for the production of virgin olive oil. It is used in the specialities of Mediterranean cuisine, and for all types of vegetable salads.
