Manestrini's success is due to its old origins which go back centuries. Some stones from the ancient building have been found which prove the presence of a mill which, from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, stood in Valtenesi, a Franciscan monastery devoted to Saint Rocco. Afterwards, in 1960, a new mill was built manged by Egidio Manestrini, father of the company we know today. Today the company, specialize in the production of extra virgin Brescia-Garda olive oil, is run also by his daughter Nicoletta. Thanks to the great attention during the picking of the olives and the production of the oil, the company has achieved many regional and international awards.
