Oil from the Berici Hills: from the fields to Vicenza tradition

A product of excellence whose distinctive character has been documented since the 1500s

This prized oil is not just a condiment, but a true green gold containing the soul and history of the territory. Its value and uniqueness have been celebrated since the 1500s, bearing witness to an ancient tradition rooted in the Renaissance and admired during the twentieth century by renowned writers and poets. Then as now, every drop tells the story of a land devoted to beauty and excellent agriculture.

At first sight, the oil captivates with intense, bright green-gold reflections that mirror the hills where it is born. On the nose, it releases an inviting fruity aroma, rich in fresh green notes recalling nature and garden scents, before leaving an elegant and unmistakable finish reminiscent of bitter almond.

From the local olive groves

On the palate, it reveals great character, offering a rounded taste full of personality. Its flavour balances a pleasant bitter note with a lively peppery aftertaste, a harmonious and persistent combination designed by nature to enhance traditional dishes and bring joy to the table.

Its secret lies in the union of four historic olive varieties grown on the hills: Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino and Rasara. Carefully harvested and cold-processed with modern technologies to preserve freshness, they create a unique blend that has represented the true identity of the Vicenza hills since the Renaissance. Local farms open their doors to introduce visitors to this rich and genuine product.
