| Sumario: | According the first economic profile, Mendoza has been defined as an olive growing province. Due different reasons, olive growing decreased its importance over time. At the present, it represents the second most important agricultural activity in the Province with almost 20,000 hectares cultivated. According to the current direction of the productive and commercial needs of the sector, its production must be differentiated by putting it into value through a Mendoza Geographical Indication (IGMen). For this, it is necessary to have complete studies that guarantee traceability, quality and characteristics of virgin olive oils, "extra" and "virgin" quality, both blends and varietals, produced and obtained according to the edaphoclimatic, sociocultural and technical context of Mendoza. The working hypothesis is based on the fact that it is possible to determine and quantify the differential characteristics through physico-chemical and sensory analysis in order to be used in a proposal of geographical indication. The aims are: to characterize raw material, obtain virgin olive oils, evaluate sensory attributes and perform profiles, make physical-chemical analyzes, characterize virgin olive oils and evaluate the possible impact on the prices of an IGMen. The work methodology articulates the work of the Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias (Executing Unit), the Facultad de Ciencias Médicas and the Facultad de Artes y Diseño from Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, with public and private institutions related to the sector: Asociación Olivícola Mendoza (ASOLMEN), Fundación Instituto de Desarrollo Rural (IDR) and the Dirección de Fiscalización y Control del Gobierno de Mendoza (DFyC). This articulation is based on the adoption of sustainable development objectives (SDO). The results will be transferred through different actions using communication and design strategies, with graphic, audiovisual and visual media, that allow both producers and industrialists, distributors and consumers, to identify what an IGMen means. It is expected to contribute to the put in value of local olive growing production through these studies that will give sustainability to an IGMen, benefiting the sector and enabling the preference of oils from Mendoza in the Argentine consumer market, as well as in emerging markets (China, Japan, etc.) in a highly competitive international framework. |
