In a fantastic, hidden corner of Tuscany, we will learn about olive oil starting from the beginning: the tree, its history, its cultivation. In an enchanted castle where tradition meets innovation, we will see how e.v. oil extraction evolved through the century in a modern mill. We will taste 2 superb samples. After that we'll reach an organic farm, meet the farmer to taste award winning oils and learn about how to choose and recognize quality products. We will finish having lunch with the fresh produce. Foodie advisor: after this experience you may not be able to eat a bad bruschetta anymore.
I speak also Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese if you want! :)

I am a licensed guide and nature interpreter with an authentic love for olive oil and Tuscany. I grew up in south east of Italy picking olives in my family grove, thus olive trees are sacred to me. When I moved to Tuscany I found out how passion and tradition can evolve with science and technology to provide excellent quality, healty products and benefit the environment.
I hope to convert you the the e-v-o religion!

We are going towards Reggello in the Arno river valley, commonly known as the best area for olive oil in Tuscany. The 1st place we visit is a superb castle, an important olive mill of the area. The 2nd place is a small farm where a passionate local farmer merges tradition, ecology and innovation. The landscape is fantastic and unspoiled.

We were looking for more activities while we had a bit of time in Florence and then came across this experience. What a perfect opportunity, we learnt so much about olives and especially knowing whats good and whats bad. Francesco was very considerate, perfect communication on where to meet and dropped us off back to Florence at the end of the day.
The lunch provided was amazing too, we wouldnt have been to the place if it wasnt because of this experience.

Francesco was amazing! Our family had a wonderful time learning all about olive oil. We started at an olive oil mill to see the production process and taste a sample. We then went on to a farm to learn about the history of olive oil and have another tasting. We finished with a delicious lunch that was made with vegetables that were grown on the farm. Francesco was a great tour guide during the process, answering our many questions at each location and while he was driving us in the car. He has extensive knowledge about olive oil that he was happy to share, along with other general facts about the area. His communication both before and during the tour was very helpful - we would highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Florence!

Nous sommes des amateurs d’huile d’olive , mais pas de grands connaisseurs ..maintenant nous saurons reconnaître et acheter une bonne huile d’olive !! La première partie pour la visite de l’usine d’huile d’olive par Guilia Pasquini , membre de cette entreprise familiale a été d’une grande générosité et d’une grande gentillesse , nous avons grandement apprécié . Leur huile d’olive est distribuée partout dans le monde , même en Ontario , mais malheurement pas au Québec encore. Nous leur souhaitons une belle récolte cette année ! Pour la deuxième partie , Francesco nous a conduit dans un ancien château , devenu un centre où la nature et la culture de la biodiversité est omniprésente de même que la culture des oliviers. A cet endroit , nous avons appris à reconnaître et a goûter une bonne huile d’olive ,quelle expérience extraordinaire , or du commun !! Nous y avons pris un repas succulent préparé avec des produits bio en compagnie du directeur , un grand merci à ce grand homme pour la visite du jardin , toutes les explications sur la bio diversité et les bienfaits de l’huile . Wow , un magnifique partage, il est de ceux qui ont à cœur le bien être de la terre et sa survie.
Un énorme merci à Francesco pour nous savoir si bien guidé dans cette expérience unique et ce jusqu’à notre départ , jamais nous n’oublierons , la route en montage , les paysages de la Toscane, le chant des oiseaux , la paix et la douceur de cette journée !! Nous recommandons à tous les québécois sans hésiter , cette activité unique guidée en français , vous en ressortirez grandi !!!
