Data on some qualitative parameters of Carolea olive oils obtained in different areas of Calabria (Southern Italy)

This data article contains complementary results related to the paper “Characterization of monovarietal olive oils obtained from mills of Calabria region (Southern Italy)” (Piscopo et al.,2016). Data was obtained by capillary-column gas chromatography, analyzing sterols and triterpene dialcohols and ethylesters in the composition of Carolea olive oils. They were produced in differentareas of Calabria region (Southern Italy), named: the Sibari's plateau (SP), the Valley of Sant'Eufemia (VSE), the Tyrrheniansouthern area (TSA), the Ionian southern coast (ISC) and the Ionian area of Catanzaro (IAC). Specifically the characterized sampleswere 24 in the SP; 43 in the VSE; 15 in the TSA; 30 in the ISC, and 34 in the IAC, for a total amount of 146 olive oils. The differences in some compositional characteristics denoted the effect of theenvironmental and could be considered to improve the local productions. The compilation of this data provides a resource for thewider research community and the interpretation of this data could be found in the research article noted above.
