Palatinum is the name of the extra virgin olive oil produced from the 200 olive trees growing on the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. The organic olive oil, described as superb and extremely pure, is produced on a non-commercial basis but will be available to taste during educational workshops in the future.

Behind the project is Parco archeologico del Colosseo, the archaeological park incorporating the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum and Domus Aurea. In addition to olive oil, Parco Colosseo already produces Ambrosia organic honey as part of an urban beekeeping project, courtesy of 60,000 bees at two hives in an inaccessible area on the southern slopes of the Palatine.
