ABOUT US
On the south-eastern side of Lake Garda, where the Bornico stream separates the municipalities of Toscolano Maderno and Gardone Riviera, the Frantoio del Bornico olive oil production mill has been in operation since 1800.
The olive presses and the water-powered mill stones have now been replaced with state-of-the-art machinery, ensuring a consistently high-quality product year after year.
The Polini family took over in 1979, and are justly proud of the company′s production.
The Frantoio del Bornico processing mill is the last of the six presses that operated at Fasano, some of which were also powered by the Bornico stream.

PROCESSING
- DELIVERY - The olives delivered to us by our customers are inspected and weighed, and a receipt is issued that confirms the quantity of the olives and the delivery date. The olives are then stored in a warehouse and milled within 24 hours.
- WASHING AND DEFOLIATION - The processing begins with washing the olives and removing the leaves.
- THE CRUSHER - From the washer, the olives are transferred via a feeder to the crusher, which is designed to crush the olives using a system of steel hammers.
- KNEADERS - Once crushed, the olive paste is transferred to the kneaders, which help separate the oil from the water, preparing the pulp for the extraction phase.
- OIL-WATER-RESIDUE SEPARATOR - From the kneaders, the mixture moves to the extractor where the oil, water and solid residue are separated using centrifugal force.
- SEPARATORS AND FILTRATION - After the oil undergoes a second separation process to remove any remaining water particles, it is then ready for filtration.
- THE FINAL PRODUCT - After filtration, the product is ready to be bottled or canned, then sold.
