Experience the essence of Tuscany!
Follow us in the Florentine countryside and cook with us traditional Italian dishes directly inside our Oil Mill. Inside our experience we’ll provide consumers a complete sensorial experience not only about EVOO but also about gastronomic traditions. The experience represents the true spirit of our company and is trying to not only give value to the final product but even to let people comprehend how hard the work we do is. Passion and Communication is something that we feel is needed to transmit the real value of our project. Guests will not only be helped to dive in the real Italian traditions but will also be guided to choose the best range of Olive Oil and get to know how to consume and use it in their dishes. The project comes from the idea of making a difference and creating a unique product. We’ll provide guests a new frontier of culinary experience cooking traditional Italian dishes directly inside our farm accompanied by workshops and small outdoor experiences. Being a family owned company allows us to create tailored experience for each consumer and to host a collective class.

Highlights
Cook alongside the family that makes the oil. This is hands-on, not a demonstration — you help prepare and plate every course.
A full Tuscan menu, six courses deep. From aperitivo to dessert, this covers a complete regional meal, not a single dish.
Olive oil explained from field to plate. Walking the groves and learning the production process gives real context before you even start cooking.
An intimate, small-group setting. Capped at 12 guests, this feels genuinely personal, with past guests describing hours spent at the table with their hosts.
