Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting at a Family Frantoio in Ugento
À propos
Step inside one of Puglia's most awarded family frantoi, producing extra virgin olive oil for four generations since 1917. Run entirely on solar energy with a zero-waste production cycle — where even olive pomace becomes fertiliser and eco-fuel — Frantoio Congedi represents the future of Italian olive oil. Grown in the coastal microclimate of Ugento, just steps from the Ionian Sea, the estate's oils carry the unmistakable character of the Salento terroir. Your guide will walk you through every stage of this living tradition, from grove to bottle, before leading you through a sensory tasting of multiple oil varieties paired with local specialties.

Your experience begins with a guided tour of the working frantoio, where your host will explain the full production cycle — from the harvesting of olives grown in the coastal microclimate of Ugento, through cold extraction using centrifuge technology, to nitrogen-sealed stainless steel storage that preserves the oil's quality. You'll learn how the estate has operated on 100% solar energy since 2010, and how every by-product of production is reused — nothing is wasted. The visit concludes with a guided sensory tasting: you'll compare multiple varieties of extra virgin olive oil, each with a distinct flavour profile, paired with traditional Salento taralli and marinated local vegetables.
