A town hall in the Var is mobilizing to save its endemic olive tree variety

The municipality of Le Val, a village in the Var, is mobilizing to save its endemic variety of olive tree, reports

.

To do this, studies on boussarlu, this is the name of this variety, have been launched.

Research into stem trees, mapping of specimens, properties and taste characteristics are carried out with the support of the Center technique de l'olivier and the Conservatoire méditerranée epartis.

Because if there are dozens of varieties of olive trees in Provence, each one presenting particular characteristics (the pitcholine for its firm flesh, the salonenque for its fiery oil…), few of them are cultivated.
