The Garda Gold, an age-old tradition

Thinking on warm, sun and dry that an olive tree needs to produce golden fruit, Lake Garda stands as the last territory to the north that allows high-quality production. Climbing the plant it is hard to not lose concentration admiring the superb view of the Italian largest lake.

The extra virgin olive oil is recognized with D.O.P.the Italian label for special products, by the EEC in 1997, and is one of the best in Italy. Its culture is not simple as in other zone, in particular the Mediterranean, because the plants are high and irregular, requiring different treatment in terms of labour. This affect the price of course, but beyond that, also the quality.

Olio del Garda DOP, the oil of Brenzone, is the primary product in the preparation of the majority lakes recipes and to the Mediterranean diet, bringing out the flavor of the fish the flavor of Monte Baldo’ s product. The total production does not allow export, leaving the territory this excellence limiting its trade within the local people.

Fortunately, Hotel Brenzone has its own production to ensure its guests to enjoy this unique product and also in order to take with them a piece of Brenzone. At the reception or in our restaurant you can find souvenirs in glass bottles or cans for an easy transport. Alternately you can enjoy the festival in November and helping us with the harvest!
