Well-guided tasting. Competent explanations and a very friendly guide. Great experience!
Thanks to Fernando and Ariana we had a really enjoyable time. Both of you were very kind to explain the olive oil, and we shared our couple's Italian travel stories and were warmly welcomed. The spicy olive oil was all fresh and great, especially the Brunella Extra Virgin olive oil was impressive. It was not only a good product but also a special experience to meet good people. If you are visiting Montalcino, this is a great place to visit!
With my wife looking for oil mills in the heart of Tuscany, we discovered this true Italian excellence. Friendliness and kindness are the calling card that opens the door to the discovery of an oil of superlative quality. We were really impressed by the passion and expertise of the Master Oil Maker who introduced us to the world behind a can of oil. Competence and passion must be recognized and rewarded. Highly recommended. Greetings from Chioggia.
Our tour guide was so much fun and extremely informative. We got such an education on how olive oil is made and how to pick good quality oil. We also had a few pieces of food to show how the oil works with foods. My husband said he never thought he’d be doing shots of olive oil, haha. Of course we bought some to bring home to the US. The only downside was we felt the entrance wasn’t very well marked. We were driving and went past it. It’s just a dirt road to get in and we thought we were going the wrong way.
Discover the prestigious know-how, visit, explanations and fantastic tasting! Lovely team, go for it!
Very informative and enjoyable description of the process of making extra virgin olive oil; and the taste experiments with different types of evoo were great. We loved the time with our tour guide!
What a lovely experience! Initially we balked at the price, but it’s because we didn’t really understand everything that would be included. It was totally worth it! We learned a tremendous amount about the process of making olive oil, and the history of this place. The tasting was informative, delicious and substantial (we tasted so many different t olive oils and learned how the taste on different foods).
It was a great experience. Our guide was very dynamic and engaging. We all learned a lot and enjoyed the tasting. Highly recommend it if you are looking for something different and fun to do.
Wonderful presentation with new information about olive oil I didn’t know. It was fun sampling different oils.
We came to the mill by accident on our way back to our accomodation. We were welcomed very friendly, were shown around and tasted the excellent oil. I Never tasted such a high quality oil - top top top!
