    Man läuft nicht weit in die Olivenberge herein. Das ganze ist nett und kurzweilig. Das Tasting am Ende dreht sich rund um das Olivenöl und ist als kleine Mahlzeit mit verschiedensten Leckereien gestaltet. Es gibt die Führung nur englischsprachig, kleine Kinder haben sicherlich nicht soviel davon.

    Jetzt weiß ich, wie Olivenbäume gehegt und gepflegt und dann die Oliven im Spätherbst bis in den Januar hinein geerntet werden. Sie werden sogleich gepresst und das Öl wird in Flaschen abgefüllt. Man spürt bei der Mitbetreiberin der Mühle, die die Führung gemacht hat, daß sie mit Herz und Seele bei der Arbeit ist und das versteht sie auch mit ansteckender Begeisterung zu vermitteln. Höhepunkt: Vielfältiges Mittagessen mit verschiedenen Olivenbereitungen, Käsen, Früchten, Broten usw. Köstlich!

    Es war ein tolles Erlebnis. Wir haben viel über die Olivenbäume und die Gewinnung von Olivenöl erfahren. Die Verkostung am Ende war auch superlecker und reichhaltig. Das hat sich absolut gelohnt und ist sehr empfehlenswert.

    Die Führung war kurzweilig und sehr interessant. Man merkt, dass viel Herzblut in dem kleinen Unternehmen steckt. Die anschließende Verköstigung war sehr lecker. Es wurde immer wieder nachgereicht und Tipps zum einbinden des wirklich leckeren Olivenöl gegeben. Sogar unsere Kinder fanden den Ausflug sehr gut, obwohl sie zuerst skeptisch waren.
