Bellalasta extra virgin olive oil is born from 1300 ancient trees rooted in the sun-drenched slopes of Monte Timarol. Harvested by hand from our olive grove, it is crafted in limited quantities with the same care and devotion that define our wines. This oil carries the character of our land—pure, balanced, and rich in history.

The olive tree is surely the richest gift of Heaven.” — Homer

The label reads

"OGLIO DE SCHORPIONI DEL MATIOLI PERFETISSIMO",

a phrase taken from an old stone inscription found on the wall of one of the houses of via Broilo, nerby famous Ponte Pietra in Verona city center. It reminds us that this oil has been treasured for centuries, not only as food but as medicine. Our distinctive scorpion label pays homage to a curious and forgotten piece of Veronese history.

Centuries ago, pharmacists in Verona searched the countryside for the finest olive oil to prepare a rare remedy: a medicinal infusion made with scorpion venom.

While our olive oil is crafted for the table, the story behind it reaches into the world of ancient pharmacology. Scorpion venom, once mixed with oil, was believed to have extraordinary healing powers—and today, it continues to be studied for its analgesic, antibacterial, and anti-tumor properties. This legacy adds depth to our olive oil: not just a culinary treasure, but a product with a past tied to wellness and care.

Bellalasta continues this legacy, offering oil that nourishes both body and soul.
