Looking at olive oil in a different way - My friend and I booked a extra virgin olive oil experience. Katia learned us a lot about olive oil and answered all of your answers from growing the olive tree, to pressing the olives to selling it. It was a fun learning experience which helped us looking at olive oil in a different way.
