Description

Start with an introduction to the company’s history and philosophy, explaining how generations have preserved and enhanced their craft. Then, tour the production area to see how freshly harvested olives are transformed into high-quality extra virgin olive oil.

Your guide will explain every step: from initial cleaning and leaf removal to crushing, malaxation, and final separation. You will learn how precision and timing influence the olive oil’s aroma, flavor, and nutritional value.

Next, participate in a professional tasting of three olive oils: an organic extra virgin, a conventional extra virgin, and a defective oil common in large-scale distribution. Learn to identify aromas, flavors, and defects to distinguish high-quality oils from lower-grade ones.

End the visit with a classic Tuscan bruschetta made with the mill’s extra virgin olive oil and freshly toasted bread. Water and soft drinks are included. During warmer months and on clear days, the tasting takes place outdoors on a panoramic terrace overlooking the valley and olive groves. If weather conditions require, the experience moves indoors.
