One of the best Extra Virgin Olive Oils from Empordà
Fontclara's story is that of a love affair. That of Roland Zanotelli and Empordà, with its landscape, flora, tradition, gastronomy, and, of course, its olive trees. Passionate about botany, gastronomy and art, and captivated by the area, he decided to turn his dream into a real project and form roots with people from the territory.
The Finca Fontclara, located in the heart of Baix Empordà, between the charming medieval towns of Peratallada, Palau-Sator, Ullastret and Pals (popularly known as the golden triangle of Empordà), has several fields scattered around the area between rice paddies and fruit trees. It is a privileged place on the Costa Brava, blessed with a microclimate and land with high production power, a kind of natural golden mile from which the best liquid treasure is born: Fontclara extra virgin olive oil.
