Extra virgin Savoy - Tour and olive oil tasting
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Come and visit us in our eighteenth-century Masseria, we will take you to discover the centuries-old olive trees, the stages of production of extra virgin olive oil and the ancient underground oil mill. We will discover together the history of the area, the peasant past of our Puglia and we will immerse ourselves in an expanse of centuries-old plants of unique beauty.
We will create a guided tour of extra virgin olive oil tasting and we will learn to recognize the aromas and flavors of a quality extra virgin olive oil. We will thus be able to choose an excellent product, to preserve it carefully and to enhance it in the kitchen.
In a nutshell: the entire oil production chain, from cultivation to bottled extra virgin olive oil, in a suggestive and authentic setting, which oscillates between past and present.
The proposed visit experience takes place in a very small group, to better welcome guests and interact with them.

5.00Rosaria is very personable knowledgeable and very warm. She shared a great deal of knowledge about their farm, and the production of olive oil, and a visit to their cave that they discovered was amazing. The actual olive oil tasting was great, and we will be shipping some home! If she did not know the answer to a question, she found out immediately. This was such a great informative experience.. Thank you !
A wonderful olive oil tasting and education experience in Puglia!

5.00Rosaria was so dedicated and passionate about sharing the history and continuation of the Savoia family olive oil legacy. We toured their beautiful underground excavations as well as their current processing plant. We did not tour much of the actual grove itself. We enjoyed tasting all of their products and look forward to ordering for our home in the United States. Highly recommend!
