One of our best experiences during a month of vacation in Lecce. The owners were Very pleasant. We learned a great deal. The olive oil tasting was helpful and their oil is delicious. Our tour was conducted by the daughter of an owner and, gratefully, she spoke perfect English. Thank you for introducing us to the subtleties of olive oil.

Olio e altri prodotti ottimi, persone cortesi e competenti, che speriamo di incontrare di nuovo, comunque, con la possibilità di acquisti on-line riusciamo ad avere con noi i sapori della Puglia. Consigliato.

The owners are very kind and offer a complete tour of the oil mill and field. I was there as a guide of a big group and they were able to manage questions and special requests with a big smile.
I hope to see you again soon!
