Programs to promote the Nocellara del Belice olive and its production sites, include collaborations with the following entities: schools to educate the young local inhabitants about their star product; tourism specialization courses, culinary and hotel training schools, to encourage freshly formed professionals to support and spread the use of Nocellara del Belice olives and olive oil in their upc
oming work environment; the local Consorzio di tutela della Nocellara del Belice DOP and Consorzio di filiera dell'olio Valle del Belice DOP, to contribute to their "purported" efforts; public administration on several levels, community, province, region, nation and Europe, to better defend the Nocellara's market from fraud and the rise of copycat products parallelling the rise of bulk buyers' and wholesalers' awareness of the Nocellara del Belice's top quality. A detailed support program for La Grande Oliva encompassing memberships, donations and volunteer work is underway. A matching funds plan is also being studied to hopefully establish regular informative and training programs at schools, local and beyond. In the meantime, we welcome contributions of any sort and in particular: labor (even at distance), merchandising print (stickers, aprons, hats, t-shirts, notepads, postcards, pens, cups, pins...), intellectual (marketing, copywriting, p.r., press relations...), legal (help with trademark/brand registration and protection; help with strategizing our collective anti-Nocellara-fraud plan and implementing the costly venture), RECIPE TESTING, and more.
