Want to discover the secrets of extra virgin olive oil and learn how to truly recognise quality? We look forward to welcoming you to our oil mill in Greve in Chianti for a guided experience among machinery and aromas, designed to help you understand what makes a truly superior extra virgin olive oil.

The experience begins with a warm welcome at a state-of-the-art oil mill. Accompanied by the staff, you will follow the main stages of production: from the olive to the oil, including the processes and controls that determine freshness, aromas, and sensory characteristics. This clear and engaging tour offers an up-close look at “how a quality oil is made.”

Then comes the most enjoyable part: the Palate Challenge. Put your taste buds and nose to the test with a guided tasting of 3 oils, comparing different qualities and origins. You will learn to recognise strengths and weaknesses, to interpret the aromas (fruity, herbaceous notes, almond, artichoke), and to understand what to look for when you want to buy an authentic extra-virgin olive oil.

To round things off, there's nothing better than a “fettunta”: bread drizzled with “good” oil to etch the flavours and sensations into your memory and take home with you a simple, authentic memento of Chianti. This engaging, hands-on, and delicious experience is perfect for anyone who loves Italian cuisine and wants to learn more about one of its most cherished ingredients.
