Veneto Valpolicella is a protected olive oil with the Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP) designation and is the most renowned oil in Frantoio Bonamini’s selection. It is produced from the native Grignano and Favarol varieties, grown in the hilly landscapes of the Valpolicella valley near Verona.
The oil is mild, harmonious, and elegant – distinguished by fresh herbal and fruity aromas, with notes of green apple and almond. Its balanced bitterness and spiciness make it ideal for everyday use, especially with fish, vegetables, light salads, and cheeses. It represents a union of tradition, protected origin, and premium quality, and has also been internationally awarded for its authenticity and refined taste.
