Peridot
Extra virgin olive oil

Even here, in the region where it originates, the Grignano olive is rarely cultivated. On its trees grow a few large and globular olives, which do not turn completely black even when fully ripe. Nevertheless, the Grignano olive gives us an oil that is memorable for its balance and surprising pungency.

Timelessly noble

While planting our olive trees, we came across a variety of stones that a glacier had brought into Valpolicella valley millions of years ago. With these stones we’ve unearthed the realisation that, through hard work, we could to create something exceptional that would endure and have timeless value for future generations: Granat, Amethyst, Peridot. Born from air and earth, sun, water and the constant changes in our world, our oils bear the names of noble stones. Born from the elements, they have captured light and preserve fleeting moments of happiness within them.
