Taste & Tradition
Food and Wine in Brenzone sul Garda
The territory of Brenzone sul Garda is a bountiful table set between lake and mountain, where nature and culture come together in the kitchen. The local gastronomy draws its inspiration from the harmony between the lakeside environment, with its fresh fish, and the produce of the Monte Baldo slopes, which bring intense aromas and authentic flavours.
Extra virgin olive oil is the true star of Brenzone’s cuisine: delicate, light, and fragrant. Produced from olive groves that overlook the lake, often terraced and cultivated with traditional methods, it enhances every local dish, from lake fish to the simplest side plates.
Fresh fish from Lake Garda brings authenticity to many traditional recipes: grilled sardines, whitefish in carpione, or perch with polenta. These flavours find perfect balance in the products of high-altitude dairies, where artisanal cheese, cured meats, butter, and yogurt are made with centuries-old knowledge.
In autumn, the forest gifts chestnuts, granted PDO status marrons, mushrooms, and wild herbs, while the prized Monte Baldo truffle lends its aroma to risottos and traditional dishes. Tables are further adorned with preserves, honeys, jams, and locally made products.
