Great learning and testing experience! - Great experience with a professional in the field. She explained very well the whole process to make oil with some family history, important fact about olive trees and finally how to test oil ourselves. The whole experience was concluded with a nice testing of oil and snacks of the region which was enough to have a fulfilling lunch. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

Tasty knowledge - Marta was such a great host. She has such a passion for the olive oil industry, process and art. My family has a new appreciation for not only olive oil but for southern Italian farming. It was a wonderful afternoon. Thank you Marta and the Olio Medico family for sharing your story.
