The experience begins with a presentation of the production process, from olive harvesting to oil extraction, in order to better understand what makes the quality of an extra virgin olive oil.

Visitors will then explore the major producing countries of the Mediterranean basin, their traditions, as well as the main olive varieties and their unique aromatic profiles.
