Azienda Agricola Poppo

On the shores of Lake Como, Azienda Agricola Poppo dedicates its work to a single denomination, the Laghi Lombardi DOP, the extra virgin olive oil that protects the olive growing of the Lombard lakes. It is a niche northern production, made possible by the mild microclimate that the bodies of water guarantee to the surrounding hills, and measured by demanding parameters: low acidity and an above-average phenolic content, indicators of olives harvested at the right moment and pressed quickly. These numbers are not a technical flourish but the signature of a vibrant oil, with a clear fruitiness and a bitter and spicy note that signals its richness in polyphenols. The farm combines its mill with hospitality, opening its doors to those who wish to personally verify the connection between cultivation and the table. It's worth a stop for a guided tasting, where the extra virgin olive oil is paired with local, zero-kilometer products, and the DOP ceases to be an acronym and becomes a taste experience.
