In the heart of Padua's culinary tradition, El Padoan stands as an emblem of quality and dedication. Our choice to use extra virgin olive oil from the Frantoio di Cornoleda for our products is not random, but is the result of a passionate search for perfection.
An Oil with Character
The oil from the Frantoio di Cornoleda, born in 2008 from the passion of Devis and Jaci Zanica, is a product that embodies the aromas and peculiarities of the Euganean Hills2. This oil, winner of the first prize as the best monovarietal oil in Italy at the international Leone d'Oro competition, is characterized by a balanced aroma, low acidity and a very low content of peroxides, making it delicate and digestible.
El Padoan's Choice
For us at El Padoan, olive oil is not just an ingredient, but the beating heart of our artisanal leavened products. We choose the oil from the Frantoio di Cornoleda because it slowly blends into the traditional dough with mother yeast, creating a product that is a hymn to the land of Padua1. Our philosophy is simple: high quality ingredients for uncompromising creations.
Tradition and Innovation
Our classic Paduan leavened product, enriched with this precious oil, is testimony to how tradition and innovation can coexist. Extra virgin olive oil replaces butter, in a choice that reflects our innovative spirit and respect for the health of our customers.
Commitment to the Territory
The use of oil from the Frantoio di Cornoleda is also a commitment to the territory. We actively collaborate with the Zanicas to safeguard the beauty and integrity of the Euganean Hills, creating products that are an expression of this wonderful land.
El Padoan is more than a brand; it is a promise of excellence and authenticity. The oil from the Frantoio di Cornoleda is a choice that reflects our love for the Veneto and our desire to offer our customers only the best. With every bite of our products, we invite you to discover the rich taste and history of a land we continue to celebrate with pride and passion.
