The olive oil mill was built before the unification of Italy and houses the olive oil museum, the coconut fibre spinning and weaving museum and the World War II museum. The owner will show you the traditional “fiscolo”, a basket made from a kind of rope obtained from hemp or coconut fibres, which was used to squeeze olive oil from olives.
At the end of the visit, olive oil tasting on slices of unsalted bread from Viterbo. In the evening accommodation at a B&B in the historic centre of Viterbo. Dinner on your own and overnight stay.
