This study demonstrates that the composition of fatty acids, phenolic content and sensory profile of virgin olive oils are predominantly determined by the cultivar, with environmental conditions playing a significant but less important role in influencing these characteristics.
The authenticity and typicity of monocultivar oils and knowledge of the changes that environmental olive growing conditions bring to naturally present antioxidants and sensory attributes of virgin olive oils (VOO) are important for quality and safety improvement. This study delivers a comprehensive evaluation of the factors affecting phenolics, fatty acid composition and sensory characteristics of cultivars Oblica and Leccino VOOs throughout ripening season at two distinct olive growing environments during three consecutive crop years, and ranks the importance of each factor. Specified parameters were significantly influenced by olive growing environmental conditions. At the colder location of higher altitude, both cultivars gained higher amount of stearic, linoleic and linolenic fatty acids, as well as a higher proportion of phenolic compounds, but lower amounts of oleic fatty acid. At the warmer location of lower altitude, both cultivars had oils with lower level of fruitiness, bitterness and pungency. Analysis of the main components showed that VOOs were primarily differentiated by the cultivar, then main groups were divided with regard to the growing site, while harvest period affected the biosynthesis of natural VOOs antioxidants but had the least impact. These results reveal that the composition of fatty acids, phenolic content and sensory profile are predominantly characteristics of a cultivar.
