The Production Method and Food Pairings

In our historic oil mill in Limone, olives are squeezed with stone mills within five days of harvesting. The pulp passes from the mills to the grinding machine, and then from there to the hydraulic presses. The oil is separated by centrifugation and, after passing through the cotton filter, is collected in the storage container, ready for bottling. The process is performed at a cold temperature. During the extraction process, the temperature never exceeds 27° C.
Our oil mill uses only olives from plants characteristic of the area and of selected quality, such as Casaliva and Frantoio. This guarantees "Garda Bresciano" anti-odorizing properties and its typical genuineness.
Thanks to its lightness and medium-light fruity aroma, our oil is perfectly suited for most dishes. It is particularly suitable for grilled fish, grilled red meats, soups and vegetables, both cooked and raw .
