DOP products
The extraordinary landscape and microclimate of the Garda area are the secret from which the DOP products of Lake Garda draw their unique aromas and flavors.
Garda Dop oil is the result of pressing the olives that have grown all around the lake since ancient times, making it the northernmost area in the world in which they are grown. The same goes for Garda lemons, from which a pleasant limoncello is obtained.
From the hills of the lake comes lavender, used as an ingredient in essential oils and in cosmetics.
The prince of DOP wine production is the Lugana white wine, which bears the same name as the locality of the same name in the Sirmione area.
