Abruzzo showcases authentic EVO olive oil and September hiking in Valle dell’Orfento

The Abruzzo region in Italy is promoting two distinct attractions for visitors. Guidance on selecting authentic Abruzzese extra‑virgin olive oil stresses checking EU labeling, DOP designations such as Aprutino Pescarese, Colline Teatine and Pretuziano delle Colline Teramane, bottler information, harvest date and dark‑glass or tin packaging to ensure quality and traceability.

For outdoor travelers, the Valle dell’Orfento in the Majella National Park is highlighted as a September destination. Access requires registration at the Valle dell’Orfento Visitor Centre in Caramanico Terme, managed by Majambiente, which provides up‑to‑date trail conditions. Popular routes include the one‑hour Sentiero delle Scalelle, though some sections may be closed for maintenance or weather‑related safety reasons. Prospective hikers are advised to verify trail openings before arrival.
