You will learn how to recognize high-quality extra virgin olive oil through its distinctive aromas: freshly cut grass, artichoke, almond, olive leaf, tomato and aromatic herbs, accompanied by characteristic bitter and peppery notes. You will discover what EVO oil polyphenols are, how they are measured in mg/kg and how their antioxidant properties help combat oxidative stress. You will also learn about acidity, proper storage and smoke point—generally between 190 and 210°C—which makes extra virgin olive oil suitable for both cooking and frying. The tasting is paired with carefully selected local products and dishes designed to enhance the flavours and versatility of Tuscan olive oil.

Value for money!

A must to do on your tour list if to understand the process of farm to plate. The guide through the olive oil press process is interesting and includes a video of the machinery working followed by the tasting and lunch. We tasted three different varieties of olive oil. So much food and wine to enjoy!

Great Tour

The host was super friendly and we had a great time shopping at the factory’s store. I would recommend going late October to catch the olive production in action.

Way more than expected!

We had two tastings at two different locations. The second one, at Fracoio Buraschi, was out of this world! We learned so much at the tasting; afterwards, we were served a heavenly meal of typical Tuscan dishes featuring the olive oil made there, and cooked by Alessandra. Every detail was carefully considered - from the way the table was set to each delicious dish prepared - was perfect, and reflected Emanuela’s and Alessandra’s passion for making the best olive oil.

Interesting

The tour of the machinery was interesting. We were hoping to experience the farm where olives were grown. The lunch was amazing and be prepared by being very hungry!!
