“…An instrumental texture analysis has been applied to Spanish style olives (Jimenez et al, 1997;Morales-Sillero et al, 2008;Rejano-Navarro et al, 2008), Greek style olives (Kanavouras et al, 2005;Tassou et al, 2007;Lanza et al, 2010;Romeo et al, 2012), Californian style (Georget et al, 2003;Romeo et al, 2012) and other styles (Marsilio et al, 2000;Arroyo-López et al, 2007;Romeo et al, 2012).
