*2.4.2 "Passuluna" olives*

In Sicilia region (Palermo), the *passuluna olives* are natural over-ripe olives, left on the tree, harvested in December-January, washed with hot water and leave to air-dry. Really, those olives are shriveled and debittered as the result of attack of the fungus *Camarosporium dalmaticum*, introduced in the drupe from dipteran *Prolasioptera berlesiana*, parasite of *Bactrocera oleae* eggs.
