We have always been advocates of eating and drinking well, offering healthy, genuine products which, where possible, are produced locally.

By local we mean zero-km products from companies located no more than a few kilometres from our hotel, thereby offering higher guarantees of freshness precisely because there is no, or almost no transport or transferring involved.

We also made this choice to boost local production, thereby restoring our link with the area, at the same time learning about typical flavours and gastronomic traditions.

Therefore, choosing zero-km products becomes a way to learn about the seasonality and typicality of the place we live in.

And we pass this knowledge on to everyone who chooses to stay with us.

It’s a choice that goes hand in hand with the sustainability criteria we pursue seriously in various areas of our hotel management.

Evo del Borgo Olive Oil

The olive oil on your table comes from the heart of the Euganean Hills, from one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.

The ancient village of Arquà Petrarca, situated on the slopes of Mount Bignago, is where the Callegaro family carries out all of the processing stages: from the harvesting of the olives to the final extraction of the oil, obtaining an excellent product of absolute quality.

The fields where the olive trees grow are just 800 metres from the mill, where different types of olive oil are produced so as to offer consumers a zero-km product from a short supply chain.

Our guests will find different types of olive oil on their table:

People have always been fascinated by the moon and all of its phases influence crops, showing farmers and peasants the right moment to sow or harvest.
Moonlight Olive Oil was created from this link between heaven and earth, by collecting the best olives on the first full moon in October.
The idea was to make an olive oil that gives those who taste it the same feeling of wonder as a moonlit night.
The fruit come from centuries-old olive groves cultivated on Mount Ventolone, at a height of 350 metres: these are the highest groves in Arquà Petrarca, as well as the most south-facing.
The olives are harvested at night, protected from the sun’s rays and temperature changes: with only moonlight.
They are processed immediately to create an excellent Extra Virgin Olive Oil: an expression of fragrance, taste and aroma.

What makes it unique is its overwhelming taste, releasing a slight spicy and bitter note on the palate.
