These courses are held by the landlord, official taster in 2003, and will give you plus a very special sensory journey, that will provide you with the ability to distinguish the quality of extra virgin olive oil, once you return home.
Olive Oil Harvesting Holidays
During the olive harvest (late October-November), we can arrange 3 or 4 day packages for an olive-centered holiday. Guests can participate in the collection, witness the crushing of the olives at the mill, see how a real extra virgin olive oil is produced and will learn to evaluate the oil just pressed on and taste dishes that highlight this precious commodity.
