Olive Oil tips, all secrets of olive oil revealed by Villa Campestri Olive Oil resort team! Did you know that the taste of freshly pressed Tuscan olive oil can be sustained all year long?

It’s like the perfume of freshly mowed grass, or an artichoke freshly plucked.
Along the recommended sensory experience of Villa Campestri you’ll awaken not only to the perfume, but also to the taste of freshly made Tuscan oil. A small ceramic spoon – necessary to a true tasting – will open the sensual properties of extra virgin olive oils, tastes of green fruit, bitter and piquant.
