OUR OLIVE FIELDS Right behind our rural tourism farmhouse, we have olive fields that we take care of with dedication, they are part of our farm, producing an exclusive olive oil for the house's own consumption. Sometimes, when production allows, we offer this oil to our customers, so you can take home a piece of our land. This oil, made with our own hands, is the result of centuries of agricultural tradition in our area. A TRADITION ROOTED IN THE EARTH The farmers of our region have been able to complement the production of cereals and fodder with the cultivation of olive trees, keeping alive the tradition of making olive oil both for family consumption and for sale. Olive oil is not just a food; it is a fundamental part of the local agricultural culture, passed down from generation to generation as a jewel of the land. OLIVE OIL AND THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET Recognized worldwide for its health benefits, extra virgin olive oil is one of the pillars of the Mediterranean diet. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and its ability to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, it is considered one of the healthiest foods in the world. The oil produced in our area is characterized by its purity, fruity flavor and very low acidity, which make it particularly appreciated by experts and chefs everywhere.
