CERDONIO LAKE GARDA EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Olive oil, our passion since 1974.

CERDONIO FAMILY SIGNATURE OLIVE OIL

In the early 1970s, the Cerdonio family moved to Lazise, thanks to an intuition of the head of the family, who discovered a glimpse of Lake Garda through a beautiful olive grove. In the early years, the care and harvesting of the olives was family only: the oil produced was for the family and a few close friends. Over the years then the ‘passion’ increases and with it also the commitment and love with which we care for and produce our oil. Cerdonio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is obtained mainly from olives of the ‘Casaliva’ variety, has good fluidity and is a fruity and sweet oil with some hints of almonds and field grasses.

‘I am fortunate to live with my dear family, my beloved spouse and my son in a house from where I sense and record the passage of time and seasons. In the mornings there is frost on the lawn, sometimes even a sprinkling of snow, there is a lot of sun in the summer and the splendour of the lake in front.’ Lucio Cerdonio taken from the book "Matricola 393719"

SINCE 1974, THE CERDONIO FAMILY HAS BEEN PRODUCING EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL SOLELY FROM OLIVES GROWN AND HARVESTED IN THEIR OWN OLIVE GROVE IN LAZISE. THE OLIVES ARE STILL HARVESTED STRICTLY BY HAND, ACCORDING TO THE TRADITION OF YESTERYEAR. WE PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION TO THE MILLING OF THE OLIVES, WHICH IS DONE WITH A STONE MILL, AND THE EXTRACTION OF THE OIL IS EXCLUSIVELY COLD TO ENSURE QUALITY, AUTHENTICITY AND FLAVOUR.
