Bruschetta with delicious oil - A completely renovated oil mill where you can understand how extra virgin olive oil is really made. We tasted it on bruschetta, a typical dish of the area... very good. The company and the staff of the oil mill were helpful and friendly

High level EVO and lots of friendliness - Our goal: to have "culinary experiences". The one made at Frantoio Tistarelli had a family flavour. An exceptional EVO, truly a SignorOlio! Cheese, cured meats and excellent wine completed the culinary part. The visit to the oil mill is also beautiful, a place full of stories and traditions, where innovation and technology make their contribution to the quality of the product. Morena and Giuliano were two very nice companions!

So fun! - We had the best time! We were looking for an olive oil tour during our stay in Cortona. This one popped up and we were not disappointed. Staff made us feel so welcome. They seem to be new at this as our guide kept her clipboard close. They have done a good job providing English translations on the description cards, and the video is also in English which helped pull it all together. Our tasting for 6 was set up in the shop. It included the 3 styles of olive oil they produce alongside a small bite. Each really accentuated the olive oil. They have a nice selection of wines as well. We were able to purchase before we left. Staff made sure to bubble wrap since we would be traveling.
