The "Malcesine Olive Grower Consortium" was set up immediately after Second World War. Olive-growning members created the mill to best promote their own agrarian activities: preservation of traditional olive pruning and harvesting systems.

The consortium has modernized pressing processes to enhance the organoleptic charateristics of the oil to a maximum.
Olive groves with most trees being over a hundred years old, are located inside the municipal bounderies of Malcesine on hillsides over-looking Lake Garda.
