From the point of view of the link with the environment (historical, soil, relief, and climatic factors), the
geographical area to be extended continues to demonstrate a cohesion and degree of homogeneity
similar to what it had prior to the requested extension (initial PDO) and fulfils all the basic requirements
set out in the specification for this protected designation of origin listed in the Community register,
producing an extra virgin olive oil with the same characteristics as the protected olive oil.
