Olive Oil

We provide customers with the healthiest, most flavorful and authentic extra virgin olive oil. Pursuing excellence in every drop is our way of honoring and expressing gratitude to Mother Earth.

Olive oil production is one of the most ancient and revered extraction processes, with its origins tracing back over 6,000 years to the fertile Mesopotamian region, in what is now modern-day Syria. This remarkable tradition represents not just a source of sustenance but also a cultural cornerstone, deeply rooted in the history of early civilizations. The Greeks and Romans played a vital role in the expansion of olive oil production, recognizing its extraordinary value and versatility. They cultivated olive trees extensively, spreading their growth throughout the Mediterranean basin. Olive oil was far more than a culinary staple; it was used for religious ceremonies, medicinal purposes, skincare, and as fuel for lamps.

This time-honored craft has been passed down through generations, symbolizing a connection to the earth, a respect for nature, and a testament to the enduring legacy of one of humanity’s oldest agricultural traditions. Today, it remains a cornerstone of culture and health, celebrated worldwide for its unmatched flavor, nutritional benefits, and historical significance.

The Palazzo di Varignana Estate spans 242 hectares of magnificent olive groves, home to 150,000 trees that shape the rolling hills surrounding the resort, offering a picturesque and timeless panorama. This centuries-old tradition of olive cultivation is seamlessly intertwined with modern advancements, including espalier training systems and state-of-the-art mechanized harvesting techniques, ensuring both exceptional productivity and sustainable practices.

The care and attention paid to each phase, from cultivation to packaging, results in 5 types of excellent Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

• 3 Monocultivar for the Ghiacciola, Nostrana and Correggiolo varieties of olives
• 2 Blends: which we find Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino varietiee of olives

Each cultivar expresses its own identity, which translates each season into a different oil, like a palette composed of various shades of green and with olfactory tones ranging from medium to intense fruitiness.

Every year new portions of the olive grove enter production, defining a path of quality that will bring - year after year - Palazzo di Varignana to be the first producer in Emilia Romagna as well as a school case in the creation of chains agronomic quality, restoration of native crops, and landscape protection.
