ESTIVO EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Avanzi is a historic family-run agricultural estate founded in 1931 in Manerba del Garda, on the Brescia side of Lake Garda. For over ninety years, the Avanzi family has passionately cultivated its own vineyards and olive groves, promoting the unique characteristics of the Lake Garda area. Alongside its wine production, the company operates a modern olive mill where the olives are processed within 24 hours of harvesting and exclusively cold-pressed, producing high-quality extra virgin olive oils with an authentic aromatic profile. Tradition, innovation and respect for the local area guide every stage of production, with the aim of offering products that best express the excellence of Lake Garda.
Superior-category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means. It is cold-extracted, and its free acidity, expressed as oleic acid, is below 0.8%. It is produced from the following olive cultivars: Casaliva 40%, Leccino 30% and Pendolino 30%. The name “Estivo” refers to the fact that the olives are harvested in mid-October, earlier than the usual harvesting period. As a result, the oil yield is considerably lower, but the quality is excellent. Estivo oil has a golden colour with bright green highlights. Its aroma is fresh and fruity, while its flavour is sweet with a bitter almond finish. Ideal for dressing both sea and freshwater fish.
