We had a wonderful experience with Enrico on this tour! We enjoyed it so much and the olive oil was amazing!
Extremely comprehensive and impressive tour of a traditional olive oil mill. Enrico was fantastic. And the olive oil was great - we were able to taste it with bruschetta and separately as well.
Enrico took a lot of time to show me the beautiful plantation and the really impressive oil mill and explain everything. Even if you have visited another mill before, you certainly haven't seen such a handcrafted production process. The subsequent tasting was extraordinarily delicious and with a good conversation with Enrico very personal and friendly. All in all a great experience that is highly recommended! PS: take a bottle of the particularly good and really valuable oil with you!
What a fantastic tour of the Olive Oil Mill and so informative. I would recommend anybody to go . We had the tasting session , which I highly recommend too.
