Garda EVOO, Le Tende (50cl)

Obtained from Leccino olives from a single, small estate on the shore of the Lake Garda, in Bardolino precisely, this organic extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed, is delicate, light, full of antioxidants and polyphenols, perfect for fish courses or dish where a more delicate olive oil is needed. This organic extra virgin olive oil is only produced when the season allows it and in very limited quantity.

This extra virgin olive oil is an excellent alternative to butter in baking, perfect for cakes, biscuits, and desserts. Thanks to its delicate character, the peppery notes are softened, allowing the olive oil to subtly enhance flavours rather than dominate them. The result is baked goods with depth, richness, and a beautifully moist texture.

Using olive oil instead of butter not only makes your cakes lighter and tender but also healthier, thanks to its heart-friendly fats and natural ability to lock in moisture. Whether you’re baking a sponge cake, brownies, or biscuits, olive oil is a versatile, nutritious substitute that elevates both taste and texture.

Le Tende is a family run winery located on the Lake Garda, between Colà di Lazise and Cavaion Veronese, on a land that is blessed with a mild climate that has always been particularly suited for the production of great wines. The Le Tende is also a small olive orchard from which they produce an olive oil which is manly used by the family and a small percentage given to selected importers like us. Le Tende winery follows organic and natural farming and it has been the case from the beginning, they firmly believe in protecting and respecting the environment.

Le Tende vineyards are located in the heart of the Bardolino Classico and Custoza areas, with the most northern vineyards in the Custoza appellation where the particular soil with sandy and strongly calcareous texture gives the wine a particular aromaticity and minerality.

Le Tende winery grows the local native grapes with the addition of the international cabernet sauvignon that has found a home on the lake shore.
