Olives and Preserves from Lake Garda: Authentic Flavors and Artisan Tradition

Artisan preserves from Lake Garda encapsulate all the richness of the Benaco region's gardens and olive groves. Grown in a unique microclimate, the raw ingredients are hand-selected and preserved in jars following traditional methods that maintain their crispness, natural color, and organoleptic integrity.

Artisan Sweet and Sour Giardiniera

Our Garda Giardiniera is the pride of local gastronomy. Produced using freshly hand-cut vegetables (carrots, cauliflower, peppers, celery, and fennel), it stands out for:

• Short Cooking Time and Crispness: The vegetables retain a firm and vibrant texture when bitten.
• Sweet and Sour Balance: A balanced blend of delicate vinegar, water, sugar, and a drizzle of our EVO Oil.
• Versatility in the Kitchen: Perfect for aperitifs, starters with typical cured meats, or as a delightful side dish for boiled meats and fish.

Garda Casaliva Olives and Pâté for Bruschetta

The native Casaliva variety produces olives with flavorful, firm flesh, which are the stars of our pantry:

• Olives in Brine: Immersed in a natural solution of water, salt, and local aromatic herbs to enhance their flavor.
• Olive Pâté and Tapenade: A spreadable cream made from milled black and green olives, ideal for crostini, bruschetta, and for flavoring pasta dishes.
