On the farm
You can also enjoy guided tours to get to know the olive groves
centenarians, its olive grove, acetaia and the shop where you can taste and buy
their products. They have specialized guides for bilingual tours.
You can go directly to the store, where you will find oils of the type of
varietals: Arauco, arbequina, blends and ugni blanc. There are also delicious
derivatives such as Premium chimichurri.
Another of the
delicacies that I recommend you try are the pasta of green olives, beans
colorados or dried tomatoes. While whole olives are the big ones
protagonists of the place, the most requested are gourmet green olives and
you fill them.
