The oil of the lake: Frantoio Battaglini

On the hills of Lake Bolsena, at around 400 metres above sea level, lies the Bruno Battaglini farm. Here the olive groves stretch along gentle slopes where the favourable exposure, the clean air, the nature of the soil and the proximity of the lake create an ideal microclimate for organic olive growing.

The experience begins with a welcome at the mill, followed by a visit to the production areas and the machine room, where Andrea recounts the farm’s evolution in both olive cultivation and oil production. Then comes a guided tasting of the various oils and typical local specialities.
