This experience is hosted by a family-run olive oil producer in Calabria with roots dating back to 1849. The company presents itself as a five-generation story built around olive growing, milling, and continuous improvement in quality. The estate also emphasizes the combination of traditional know-how with modern production methods, as well as the value of local Calabrian olive varieties.
The surrounding olive groves are located in the hills of Francavilla Angitola, in the province of Vibo Valentia, an area the producer describes as a place “between sky and sea,” strongly tied to rural identity and olive cultivation.
