The owner had a wonderful personality and was open to questions. He was very personable and witty! Tour was informative and told me all new information about olive oil production that I didn’t know. There was a couple there that didn’t speak English or Italian but their son did, so the owner even allowed them time to translate so the tour could be understood. The tasting session was amazing and now I’ll be taste-testing all the olive oil I buy. Great experience. Would definitely recommend.

We knew nothing about olive oil until our recent visit here. The owner and his staff were brilliant, explaining everything about harvesting and processing the olive oil. We were taught how to taste the oil and what to expect when we did. The museum was interesting, giving a glimpse of the hard work it took to produce the oil in the past. Well worth a visit!

Excellent experience with an insight to olive oil I had no idea about before visiting. Learning about the olive oil making process and the technique to tasting was amazing.

Belle découverte de ce musée oléicole. On sent la passion de l'huile d'olive transmise de générations en générations. Visite guidée dans un bon français avec des explications sur ce travail des olives parfois surprenantes. Tout comme la dégustation qui aura appris à découvrir les secrets d'une bonne huile d'olive. Super rapport qualité/prix, avec possibilité d'acheter des produits à la fin. On recommande et on remercie l'équipe pour leur accueil!

De cette visite nous avons appris pas mal de choses sur l’huile et la distinction entre celle de qualité et celle bas de gamme industrielle. Le gérant est passionné par ce qu’il produit et ça se ressent dans ces explications en Francais de surcroît ! Nous Avons apprécié cette visite y compris notre fille de 9ans qui adore l’huile d’olive!

Professionalità - Amore - Passione Queste 3 parole descrivono secondo me l'esperienza passata con Francesco Locci. Una storia familiare con esperienza centenaria, gente che conosce al meglio (ed ama...) la propria terra ed il proprio lavoro. Ho capito molto d+ del processo di produzione dell'olio, ne esco preparato e formato per gli assaggi che mi capiteranno in futuro. Grazie a Francesco & family per il tempo che ci hanno regalato e per i prodotti scoperti. Tutto eccellente, in particolare l'olio, il limonolio, ed il sale alle olive. In particolare questi ultimi due non hanno eguali al mondo ! Provare per credere ! Alberto, Ingrid & Isabel...❤

Ich war mit meinem Sohn beim Ölmuseum und haben hier über Tripadvisor gebucht. Ich kann diesen Ausflug nur jedem ans Herz legen. Wir haben eine private Rundtour mit Top Erklärungen über den Produktionsablauf samt Olivenöl Verköstigung bekommen. Francesco ist ein sehr herzlicher Mensch genauso wie man es sich vorstellt. Auch die Frau (seine Frau?) die mit dabei war, war äußerst sympathisch. Rund um ein gelungener Ausflug!!!! Tanti saluti da Marco e Philip!!!!
