The Green Gold of Valpolicella: Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil

An artisanal excellence that unites tradition, sustainability and health.

In the heart of Valpolicella, Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde is proud to present its extra virgin olive oil, a true “green gold” born of love for the land and artisanal care. This oil is more than just a condiment: it is the result of sustainable practices, careful harvesting and cold‐pressing, in order to preserve all the aromatic and nutritional profiles of the olives.

Quality and sustainability

Thanks to our SQPNI cultivation method and the hand‐selection of the olives, the final product is distinguished by a richness of polyphenols and antioxidants, which contribute to cardiometabolic and immune system wellbeing.

Authentic flavour

The flavour profile is elegant and balanced: herbaceous notes, a slightly spicy aftertaste and a delicate fruitiness that make it ideal both for dressing raw foods—such as salads, bruschetta and crostini—and as a final touch over hot or lightly cooked dishes.

Health benefits

Extra virgin olive oil is recognised for its high content of monounsaturated fats, beneficial for the heart. Its natural antioxidants help counteract oxidative stress, making it an ideal choice for a healthy, conscious diet.

Tied to local culture

It’s not just a product: it is a bridge between Veronese agricultural tradition, sustainability and modernity. With it, Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde renews its promise: to enhance the territory and transmit the passion for agriculture that respects the environment.

How to use it

• Raw, on vegetables, bread and salads

• As a final touch to soups, white meats or fish

• As a premium ingredient in gourmet dishes, where its delicate aroma can come to the fore

Expert’s word

“Every drop of our oil is the fruit of dedication and a sustainable vision. We believe that eating well also means looking after the planet — and our bodies,” states Ilaria, of Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde.
