Azienda Agricola Cavalli Norma

On the eastern shore of Lake Como, in Varenna, Azienda Agricola Cavalli Norma cultivates olive trees in a context rarely associated with olive growing: northern Lombardy, where the lake mitigates alpine harshness and opens a surprising climatic window. From here comes an extra virgin olive oil, Laghi Lombardi DOP, the house's sole denomination, marked by naturally contained acidity and a high phenolic content. It is precisely the polyphenols that tell the story of this oil's character: they indicate freshness, shelf life, and antioxidant potential, delivering an unexpected depth for a border region. The combination of the Larian microclimate and altitude allows for quality pressing where the olive thrives at the limit of its possible range. The result is an extra virgin olive oil that speaks of the verticality of the pre-Alpine landscape rather than Mediterranean softness, and which encapsulates in a protected product the relationship between water, rock, and light that defines this eastern stretch of the lake.
