From the Mill to the Table

A visit to the olive mill with a guided tasting of the new-season olive oil

Once a year, Frantoio di Riva opens the doors to its production area to show you how extra virgin olive oil is made.

The visit follows the journey of the olives from their arrival at the mill through to oil extraction. Along the way, you’ll see the machinery at work and learn about the main stages involved in turning freshly harvested olives into oil.

The experience continues in the Galleria del Gusto, where you’ll take part in a guided tasting of the new-season olive oil. You’ll learn how to recognise its aromas and flavours, understand its key characteristics and discover how it can be enjoyed at the table.
