Immerse yourself in an authentic olive oil testing experience at Agro's oil mill, just 4 km from the charming town of Lecce.

​

Upon your arrival, the company owner will personally welcome you, guiding you through the various steps involved in crafting exceptional olive oil – from the field to the bottle. Explore the recently planted olive trees from the previous year and gain insights into the techniques of olive picking.

Get hands-on with both old and modern machines as you delve into the entire extraction process. If your visit aligns with the harvest season (October-December), witness the live spectacle of oil production, observing the process from filtering to storage and bottling.

 

Following the enlightening explanation, indulge in a tasting session featuring two premium extra-virgin olive oils. Hone your ability to recognise high-quality olive oil.

Recharge your energy with our aperitivo, featuring a selection of our finest products: dried tomatoes in extra-virgin olive oil, negramaro onions, cime di rapa paste, and olive paste, all accompanied by homemade bread.

For those seeking an extra touch, savor a glass of Schola Sarmenti wine, available upon request for groups of 4 or more at an additional cost of 4€ per person. Let this experience be a flavorful journey through the artistry of olive oil and the culinary delights of the region.
