Immerse yourself in a unique olive oil experience at a farm in Massama, a charming village near Oristano. Join Anna and Antonella, fifth-generation oil and wine sommeliers, under ancient olive trees for an emotional journey through their family's farming heritage. Discover the diverse oils and their stories in a historic manor house, learning how to perfectly pair them with delectable dishes. Let Anna and Antonella unlock the secrets behind each label, empowering you to elevate your culinary creations.
The farm was founded in 1857 and is a historical enterprise recognised by Unioncamere. The certified organic farm produces award-winning extra virgin olive oil of excellence nationally and internationally from indigenous Sardinian cultivars including Bosana, Nera di Villacidro, Sa Manna and Semidiana, the latter typical of the Oristano area.
Programme:
The experience will begin in the farm's olive grove where you will learn about the different Sardinian cultivars, how to harvest, transport and press the olives to understand how to obtain an excellent oil and what is the best method of preserving the evo. Then there will be a tasting where Antonella and Anna will teach you how to recognise an extra virgin olive oil from an olive oil and a lampante oil through organoleptic analysis. You will also learn how to match oils according to the different characteristics of bitter and spicy fruitiness to dishes prepared by the farm.
Tasting:
In addition to the various types of oils, the tasting includes: country crostone, vegetables according to the season, legume humus and a chef's surprise, water and a glass of local wine. Accommodation for allergies, intolerances, and vegetarian and vegan alternatives are available, with prior notification to the number on the reservation voucher at least two days before the experience.
