The philosophy is to use simple, good, natural ingredients and as regional and seasonal as possible.
An old house, a donkey named Olivia and excellent olive oil...
…these are the ingredients and events that came together in 1998 when Rainer Jörg decided to buy a house in need of renovation with an italian restaurant in it in his home village Wertach.
Shortly thereafter, the prototype of the mediterranean transport, donkey lady Olivia, found a new home with him.
The current pizza maker was also looking for a new home, so it was time for the electrician and entrepreneur Jörg to deal with the italian cuisine and the best ingredients for it.
What would the italian cuisine be without olives and olive oil?
High-quality olive oil has many positive effects on the human organism and is just good for us. For example the phytochemicals in the oil help to capture and neutralize free radicals in the body, which cause skin aging.
It also improves blood flow within the vessels, which has a positive effect on cardiovascular diseases. No good Italian cuisine would be without nature's liquid gold.
Even if Rainer Jörg can not grow the olives by himself in the Allgäu – the idea of good italian cuisine „Beim Olivenbauer“ was born.
You can also find dishes from the bavarian kitchen as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes.
