Olive Oil 360°

From the olive grove to aperitivo, olive oil as you’ve never tasted it before.

A walk among olive trees, a visit to the mill and an aperitivo with a twist: discover extra virgin olive oil through its history, aromas and new pairings.

The experience begins with a short walk through the olive grove, where you’ll learn about the area’s olive-growing tradition and the story of Olif de Bòtes. It continues at the mill, where you’ll discover how the olives are grown and follow their transformation into extra virgin olive oil, step by step.

Then it’s time to taste: using the traditional blue tasting glass, a guided tasting will help you recognise the aromas and characteristics of the freshly extracted olive oil and the producer’s other selections.

Next, discover two unexpected uses of the olive tree. In collaboration with Ristorante La Casina, olive oil and olive leaves become ingredients in an alcohol-free cocktail. With Panificio Zanoni, you’ll discover pan di molche, a bread that gives new value to what was once considered a by-product of olive processing.

To finish, enjoy an aperitivo pairing warm, freshly baked pan di molche with the alcohol-free olive oil cocktail. One final taste of just how versatile olive oil can be.
