Passion, knowledge and respect for nature
Family tradition
In the heart of Italy, around the historic Lake Bolsena, lies a region where olive oil is not just produced—it is lived. Families who have lived here for generations carefully and passionately manage their olive groves, whose trees are deeply rooted in the volcanic soil. They know every tree as if it were a family member.
On the slopes around Lake Bolsena, where the morning mist slowly dissipates and the volcanic soil retains warmth, grow olive trees that yield a unique flavor found nowhere else in the world.
The combination of craftsmanship, well-preserved family secrets, volcanic soil, and the climate results in a very pure oil with very low acidity, high in polyphenols, and a soft, rich taste.
Olives ripen in a unique environment
Ideal location
Lake Bolsena is a historically significant location in Central Italy. The volcanic soils present are rich in mineral components and there is a rare mild microclimate. These are ideal conditions for cultivating highly fertile olive trees.
In this natural environment, families carefully manage dozens of hectares of ancient olive groves with beautiful names such as Poggio Sala and Monte Segnale. The higher-lying groves catch more wind and develop more intense aromas. The lower-lying, more sheltered groves develop softer and more fruity notes.
Work is continuously carried out here on pruning and vegetative development, so that every olive ripens optimally. The cultivated varieties are all autochthonous, such as Caninese, Leccino, Moraiolo, and Frantoio.
Italian passion, courage, and pride
Dreams and Ambition
What began as a dream for the first generation to build a lasting legacy has now grown into a shared passion for quality, authenticity, and craftsmanship.
With respect for nature and deep-rooted knowledge passed down from generation to generation, the families behind Borgo Podernovo, Misciattelli Bernardini, and Battaglini work every day to further refine their products. Tradition and innovation constantly reinforce each other in this process.
The magic of this unique region, combined with dedication, expertise, and love for the craft, forms the basis for products that reflect the richness of their origin.
Thus, the heritage of these families lives on in everything they create: pure, full of character, and valued far beyond the borders of Bolsena.
Respect for Nature
Sustainable
The companies we have selected control the process from harvest to processing and have a clear focus on respect for nature and ecologically sustainable practices, which have now proven successful.
The history of these families shows a series of innovative choices. Since 1976, the olive pits have been used to power the production of hot water in the companies, and the wastewater is reused for nourishment and irrigation in agriculture.
The families generate their own electricity thanks to a photovoltaic system that can meet all operational needs. The use of labels on recycled paper has now become standard.
