How do you finish an epic day centered around olives and wine?
You go to Frantoio Oleario Nastasia-to watch the Olive pressing process and to eat the most traditional Puglia dish-Fave e Cicoria 🥬with the delicious liquid gold pressed in this oil mill!!

One of my favorite things is to watch the people when they bring their olives and waiting during the entire process!

Thank you to our amazing collaborators Salento delle Murge for these very special experiences!

This day continues!
🌿We visited an ancient olive oil mill.
🌿We helped to pick up the olives
🧺had a picnic in the olive groves of Azienda agricola blasi

🌿Now, we learn about the precious liquid gold of Puglia with an Olive Oil Tasting Experience with Patrizia of Frantoio Oleario Nastasia

🌿We learn the reasons why we warm up the glass in our hands, how to swish the oil around our mouth and then taste the oil.

🌿Through this experience we can now have a better understanding and be able to recognize cheap oil (from the supermarket for example) compared to the Real Extra-Virgin fresh pressed olive oil.

🌿It’s a good thing that the oil is sharp & peppery and it tingles the back of your throat-This is a signal of a good quality oil that has all of its important nutritional components.

🌿You can have this experience too when you come on a tour with me Betsy Spivak and my amazing team of collaborators Salento delle Murge.

🍷We had a very unique wine tasting experience!

🌿We see the vines in front of us, learning their history and family heritage as we are tasting the wine-this creates a deeper experience and understanding.
🌿We are tasting the famous Primitivo.
🌿This beautiful winery is in the town of Sava, which is in the center of the land of Primitivo wine located in the Province of Taranto, Puglia.
(About 15 minutes from the olive farm where we were just collecting olives) Sommelier Pietro Carmelo Mitrangolo explained everything with such care and detail,.
