At Lake Garda, the production of high-quality olive oil is a craft that has been lovingly cared for centuries. The olive trees that thrive on the fertile slopes and fields around the lake are the fundamental base for its preparation.

One of the most beautiful sights of Lake Garda are the lemon greenhouses, the Limonaia, which can be admired especially in the northern part of the lake in Limone sul Garda. The Limonaia of Castel is, typical for the lemon greenhouses of Lake Garda, built at the foot of a mountain. The result is a terraced structure.
