Consorzio Olivicoltori di Malcesine

Lake Garda


Olives harvested around Malcesine are milled into first-rate extra virgin olive oil by this local consortium. You can sample the product here. Known as 'El nos Oio' (Our Oil), it's a gold-green liquid that's low in acidity and has a light, fruity, slightly sweet taste. Prices of the cold-pressed extra virgin DOP oil start at €8.50 for 0.25L.

The consortium's 550 members all come from Malcesine's hills and produce 400,000kg of olives and 75,000L of oil annually – half is used by the producers; it's the other half that's on sale here.
