Full description
There is a perfume that tells of the most authentic Sardinia : that of freshly pressed oil.
In the heart of the Sardinian hinterland, in Escolca (SU), you can discover it up close with a visit to the Frantoio Olio Sa Mola, a historic company that has been preserving the local olive-growing tradition for four generations.
An experience of flavours, history and family passion that will end with a professional mini-tasting course, to learn how to recognise a real extra virgin olive oil!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the Sa Mola oil mill, in Escolca (SU), in the Sardinian hinterland.
We will be welcomed by the company guide, who will accompany us on a discovery of the family history and production techniques handed down through four generations.
We will begin our visit inside the oil mill and the ethnographic museum, where we will be able to admire the old machinery used to extract the oil and understand the evolution of the production processes, right up to the modern facilities.
During the tour, the guide will tell us how a quality oil is made: from the olive harvest to packaging, including the selection of local varieties and preservation methods.
The visit will end with a professional mini-tasting course, in which we will taste the extra virgin olive oil produced at the mill and learn how to recognise its aromas, nuances and quality.
The experience will last about 50 minutes in total.

The experience is suitable for everyone and free for children up to 6 years old.
