THE TERRITORY
MORE THAN 5.000 HECTARES ON THE VERONA HILLS
It all starts from the ancient Roman roots
In Veneto, the olive cultivation has very ancient roots, even before the Roman colonization. Located in the far north of the area, the Bonamini cultivation extends for 5.000 hectares on the hills, from the east to the west of the region. The unique weather conditions with often very cold winters make the olive growing in the Verona area distinct from the others in Italy, influencing the quality of the P.D.O. extra virgin olive oil produced here.
OLIVE HARVEST AS IT ONCE
An essential step for the quality of our oil
Here at Frantoio Bonamini we use mechanical brushes which guarantee us that the olives are picked at their best moment of maturation. The olives, after the falling on nets carefully placed around the trees, are immediately taken to the olive mill. Within 12-24 hours from the harvest starts the cold pressing, a fundamental process able to preserve all the organoleptic properties and precious antioxidants found in P.D.O. extra virgin olive oil.
An oil with a distinctive aroma and flavor.
The typical tastes of the Verona area
On the Verona eastside hills olive tree find its ideal habitat. The main olive types cultivated in our olive groves are: Grignano, a native olive types from the Verona area, rediscovered thanks to its aromatic marks of citrus and unripe apple, Favarol, Frantoio, Leccino or Leccio. These olive types give to Bonamini oil an unmistakable taste and aroma, able to express all the typical tastes of the territory where they are cultivated.
