From olive to oil: Harvesting and visit to oil mill with tasting

Home > Experiences > From olive to oil: Harvesting and visit to oil mill with tasting

The experience of harvesting the Oliva Marina at Agriturismo LaMarina is a unique journey to discover the ancient traditions of San Donato Val di Comino. Located in the San Paolo district, this activity allows you to immerse yourself in the magic of olive harvesting, experiencing firsthand an ancient custom that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Starting in early November, participants will have the opportunity to take part in the olive harvest, followed by our experts who will provide all the necessary instructions and equipment. Each step will be a discovery: from picking olives directly from the centuries-old trees grown on the local hillsides to learning about the history of the Marina olive, a special variety introduced to the area in the 16th century and now synonymous with excellence in extra virgin olive oil production.

After the harvest, the experience continues in LaMarina's oil mill, where you will witness the milling of the freshly picked olives. You will be able to see up close how the oil is cold pressed, preserving the organoleptic and nutritional characteristics of the product. A process that respects nature and guarantees a high-quality oil, known for its herbaceous notes, a slight hint of tomato and a delicately spicy finish.

The day ends with a special tasting: bruschetta prepared with the fragrant Olio Marina, accompanied by local products such as cheeses and cured meats. You will get to appreciate the nuances of freshly pressed oil, with its bright green color and rich, complex flavor.

The experience is suitable for everyone, both olive oil enthusiasts and those who want to spend a different day in contact with nature. You can participate in the whole day or decide to explore the surrounding landscape, including trails and breathtaking views, for a day of total relaxation and discovery.

Live an authentic experience with us, where each olive tells a story and where the art of oil production blends with respect for the land.
