Extra vierge olijfolie ontdekken

Pier was truly an amazing guide. His passion and love for olive oil growing, harvesting, and processing was contagious. We learned more than expected and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

This is one of the most interesting & informative tours we have ever taken. We learned so much about what it takes to produce organic extra virgin olive from the perspective of a small family owned production company. Everything from the maintenance of the olive grove to proper storage of the oil. Pierluigi is passionate about olive oil production and is enthusiastic to share his knowledge with the public. Following the tour of the olive grove we visited the business location for a delicious tasting of his product and local delicacies, including a glass of terrific wine. Pier and his mom were so warm and welcoming that we truly felt as though we were leaving a visit with good friends. Pier speaks perfect English, but told us he also speaks German, Russian and, of course Italian.

This was a fabulous introduction to olive oil production and one of the highlights of my trip to Vieste. The tour began in an ancient Olive grove a short ride from the starting point. Pier gave a detailed and informative talk in fluent English about all aspects of cultivation, including the use of drones and AI in modern organic agriculture. The event finished with a wonderful tasting session, including a plate of local types bruschetta, cheeses and hams. It was a fantastic way to spend a few hours and I highly recommend.
