is mainly diffused


Explanation:
is diffused mainly in the Terra di Bari (Bari area/territory)

Terra di Bari (DOP)

istorical documents indicate that the cultivation of olives in the territory of Bari (Terra di Bari) dates back to the Neolithic era (5,000 BC) and was the main agricultural activity at the time. In later ages, olive oil acquired an economic and commercial importance, and under the Roman Empire, its export was controlled by central government. In the Middle Ages, the cultivation of the plant was further encouraged by religious orders. Olive oil from the territory of Bari was popular in Venice from where it was exported further afield to other European cities. Olio Extravergine d'Oliva Terra di Bari has an acidity of 0.60 percent.
