What to expect

In the early afternoon, equipped with work boots and gloves, we will head together to the olive grove where the activity of hand-picking olives will begin. We will learn what the different cultivars are and how to recognise them by their shape, colour and taste.

Later, after a small energy snack, we will head to the oil mill to watch the olives being processed and follow the entire olive oil production process. We will then return to the farm to enjoy a farmer’s dinner with vegetables from the garden, home-made preserves and the inevitable new oil.

The Food Expert:

The history of our family has been linked to these lands for three generations, since grandfather Alfonso, an ancient oil merchant, bought the first hectares in the early 1960s and fulfilled his dream of planting an olive grove. It is here that we make our Sicilian extra virgin olive oil PGI, cold extracted from carefully selected olives, harvested by hand and milled within 12 hours.

The farmer, olive oil sommelier, will guide you to discover this extraordinary gift of land and human work, expressing conviviality and culture in a liquid state. You can learn how to pick olives by hand at the beautiful farmhouse surrounded by Sicilian olive trees in Racalmuto!

The history of our family has been linked to these lands for three generations since grandfather Alfonso, an ancient oil merchant, bought the first hectares in the early 1960s and fulfilled his dream of planting an olive grove.

Over time, although engaged in other activities, we have never been able to resist the call of this magical place, so much that in 2010 we decided to enlarge the property and create a farmhouse immersed in rural Sicily. An ancient farmhouse dating back to the late eighteenth century, immersed in the quiet of a timeless landscape surrounded by olive trees, carob trees and prickly pears. A magical place where you can find the balance between body and mind, let yourself be guided to the discovery of ancient traditions and savour simple and genuine food.
