Garda Trentino DOP (PDO)
This oil conveys our region’s full potential, thanks to the use of only Casaliva variety olives, which are hand-harvested at an early stage of maturity and immediately crushed, and a careful selection process at the olive mill, which identifies our partners’ finest fruits.
First produced in the 2008-2009 season, Uliva has become our flagship Garda Trentino DOP oil. The jewel in our crown is a modern oil based on a new concept – the robustness and intensity of the green fruitiness is somewhat discordant with the regional character, although the oil’s harmony and balance make it readily identifiable. Each production stage is meticulously managed, both in the orchard and the mill, to preserve the oil’s integrity, cleanness and freshness as long as possible.
