Veneto

Map of Veneto

Veneto is a coastal area and not well known for olive trees but better known for its famous cities -- Venezia (Venice), Padova (Padua) and Verona. The region possesses a wide variety of terrain, from the marshes of Venezia to the high mountains of the Dolomites. In between are beautiful hills full of olive trees and vineyards. The olive oil of the Veneto is mostly produced in the area to the east of Lago di Garda, along the Adige river and eastward. We are seeking additional fine oils from Veneto.

Olive oils from Veneto are rare and we are thrilled to be able to offer Allegrini Corte Giara. The estate is based in Fumane di Valpolicella, just north of Verona in northeastern Italy.

One of the rare olive oils from the northland, Zenato comes to us from Lugana in the Lake Garda area of the Veneto. Uniquely produced with Casaliva olives and lesser amounts of Leccino, Frantoio and Pendolino.
