Res Antiqva

High Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The Res Antiqva estate lies on the northern shore of Lake Bolsena in the Tuscia area which marks the natural border between Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio regions. Orvieto, a marvellous city of arts and culture, is only 15 kilometers away. Lake Bolsena was formed more than 300 000 years ago, in the ancient crater of a volcano from the Volsini mountain chain. The largest volcanic lake in Europe, it is famed for the purity and exceptional mineral richness of its waters – fishermen of the region have a saying, “the lake you can drink” – where a vast variety of fish can be found, appreciated for their flavor and quality. These include eels made famous by Dante Alighieri in his Divine Comedy.
