Garda Lake is the largest Italian lake, situated at the foot of the Alps, in a beautiful area of southern Europe. Lake Garda offers a splendid natural scenery, full of colors, surrounded by the Dolomites of Brenta in the north and the gentle slopes of the morainic hills in the south. A rich vegetation flourishes thanks to the Mediterranean climate: lemon trees, oleanders, magnolias and bouganville. The cultivation of vineyards and olive groves produces good wines and olive oil.
Fratelli Turri has produced this beautiful D.O.P. olive oil named after this lake. This oil from the Northern climes of Lake Garda is sweet and delicate with a light aftertaste of almonds. Not far south of Switzerland, Lake Garda has a microclimate the allows for a unique flavor; it's oil is among the lightest of all Italian varieties, making it ideal as a dressing since it does not mask the taste of the food. The scent is lightly fruity. This is an oil that captures the delicate beauty of the stunning landscape that comprises the Lake Garda region.
Lago di Garda partners well with fish, raw vegetables and delicate asparagus. It also is perfect for sauces and sweets.
