After a long silence due to the abandonment of the hilly farms of the Berici Hills, olive growing has gained a new impetus in recent years. The oil of the Berici is produced today mainly in the areas of Nanto, Barbarano, Villaga, Mossano, Castegnero and Sossano. With a very low degree of acidity and with a delicate, almost sweet and full taste, and a little spicy aftertaste, this oil is very suitable to be eaten raw. It enhances the taste of raw vegetables, but also bean soups and other ancient memory dishes from the Veneto.

With the decision of the municipality of Nanto to create an experimental olive grove, the Pro Loco Nanto immediately supported the project, assuming the management of the olive grove and leading the way for the creation of an oil of excellent quality, so that the whole area was surrounding the Pro Loco and the Cooperative founded at the request of Pro Loco with the goal of producing quality. There have been numerous awards won by the oil obtained in this form. There are two varieties: the D.O.P. (Denomination of Protected Origin), which boasts the name of Extravergine Olive Oil Veneto-Euganeo/Berico, and the De.Co. Nanto, produced by the Pro Loco Nanto.
