A very
important part of the overall Tuscan
agricultural production is olive
oil. Thanks to the patient care
to the trees and the groves, the result
of the olive pressing is an unrepeatable
oil that you can taste during
a visit to a mill.
Arianna & Friends organizes half-day
olive oil tasting tours in the
best olive pressure facilities of
Tuscany.
An English speaking personal tour
leader (on request also German, Spanish,
French, Italian or Russian) meets
you at your premises or at an
agreed meeting point and leads
you to one ore two oil mills of the
best olive oil production areas of
Tuscany. During the trip and the visits
the tour leader helps you discover
all the phases of the olive pressing
process and the secrets for a good
extra virgin olive oil. Eventually
you will have the chance to taste
and compare different types of
olive oil of local production. The
olive oil tasting is accompanied by
some local olive oil-based delicatessen
and good wines. The tour can be combined
with the other wine
& food tasting tours:
in this case the tour is a full-day
trip and includes a complete lunch.

This
is an email we received
on
20th December 09 from Masao
and Atsuko from Japan, joining
Massimo in a full day olive
oil tour through the best Tuscan
mills:
Hi
Mashimo,
I hope you are well.
It was a great pleasure to meet
you on 10th. Atsuko and I really
enjoyed the tour in Tuscany
becasue of your perfect guidance.
Grazie di cuore!
Atsuko and I have just come
back to Japan last night. Since
we left Tuscany, we went to
Sicily(We rent a car and visited
a olive mill and a olive grove
in Trapani.. It was informative.),Paris,
Chicago, and San Francisco.
Thank you again, and I look
forward to seeing you again
soon!
