History

At the Monte Castello Estate, retired wine expert Jeffrey Benson and his wife Clare discovered an ancient olive grove on their newly acquired property 500 metres above Lake Garda in northern Italy which had a multitude of century old olive trees. With the help of local agronomist Renzo Furlani who is the expert on the olive trees for this area, our olive grove has once again come to life to produce exceptional olive oil.

Now, our full time agronomist Marco Penitenti who was trained by Snr Furlani continues in the age old traditions and selects only the finest oil to be bottled under our Monte Castello label.

This prestigious olive oil is completely free of cholesterol and high in antioxidants including vitamins A, E and K, and serves as a perfect complement to all types of food.
