A fabulous experience learning about olive oil production and olive oil tasting. - We highly recommend this fantastic experience. It was great be given the tour by the owner whose family have been farming olive trees for many years. The tour began with information regarding the production of the olive oil (film, information boards, photos, machinery and knowledge from the owner). This was followed by olive oil testing in a lovely barn accompanied by Sardinian food and wine. We were awarded a certificate. Afterwards we looked around the museum and shop where we were able to purchase goods.

Grandios - I too can only recommend the tour with Francesco. After the guided tour and tasting, you look at the olive oil with completely different eyes. Again: That's great, Francesco! Grazie mille.... Cordiali saluti dalla Germania

Unforgettable experience, thank you very much - A welcome at the top and visit maintained while I was alone. I learned a lot about olive oil, preservation, making, harvesting... and tasting. They went to 4 because for the tasting I do not eat meat, they knew how to level in an instant so that I could taste products. I discovered new flavors. The shop has affordable Awards. Do not hesitate to come and discover the knowledge of this family, you keep good information (15 / 20 ° C for the preservation of oil, fruity, bitter and spicy, <8%, extra virgin means nothing, cold pressed .....), but I will say no more, except to visit them.

Wonderful Tour and Tasting - First of all, Francesco was so much fun! His passion and knowledge were so impressive and we learned so much. We can't wait to dive a bit deeper into tasting the various olive oils that we have available at home to see how they stand up. Francesco prepared a lovely food and wine spread where we were able to enjoy the three different olive oils we tasted prior. We couldn't pass up purchasing olive oil to take home for our daughters as well as bottles for our own use. We also picked up some of the olive salt that we enjoyed during our tasting. We highly recommend spending a couple of hours with Francesco and learning all about the history of olive oil making in his local Sardinian family from several generations back until present day!
