VALPOLICELLA: The valley of Wine and Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Aug 26, 2020Donatella Mulvoni

Located in northern Italy, near Lake Garda, this area produces some of the best extra virgin olive oil and wine in the world. Don’t believe us? Try Extra Virgin Olive Oil Veneto Valpolicella D.O.P for yourself! 

 

A BEAUTIFUL VALLEY

If you want a break from the city, and if you’re looking for a place connected to nature, from which you can see stars with no light pollution, and without the noise of pesky car horns, we have just the place for you. The Valpolicella valley, in northern Italy, is located in Veneto, bounded to the north by the Eastern Prealpine mountain range, to the south by the Adige river, and to the east by the city of Verona. Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy, is also nearby.

 

VALPOLICELLA IS HOME TO AMARONE WINE

If you are a nature-lover, and if you love wine and food, the Valpolicella is paradise. In fact, the area’s very name comes from the Latin “val polis cellae,” meaning “the valley of many wine cellars,” and local wineries produce world-famous wines like Amarone and Valpolicella Ripasso.

 

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL: VALPOLICELLA’S BEST KEPT SECRET

Not everybody knows that this land also produces some of the best extra virgin olive oil in Italy. The Valpolicella’s climatic and geographic conditions are favorable to oil production, and olive trees dotting the hillsides make the region a treat for the eyes. Valpolicella EVOO is very unique: the color is deep green and gold, and its delicate flavor bears a lemony aftertaste. A single drop  of a high-quality Valpolicella oil can deeply alter the flavor profile of any dish.

 

TRY REDORO, BRING HOME THE TASTE OF THE VALPOLICELLA

Magnifico has selected an exceptional extra virgin olive oil: the Redoro company’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil Veneto Valpolicella D.O.P. 

Redoro has been enriching italian tables with their Extra Virgin Olive Oil “Dop Veneto” since 1895. Founded by Regina and Isidoro Salvagno – the brand name itself is a fusion of their names — Redoro is still a family-run company, preserving tradition while innovating at every turn. Your tastebuds will thank you despite this oil’s slightly elevated price-point: even a few drops of this oil will elevate any dish. Magnifico, as always, offers this unique oil at the best price on the market.
