Bartolomei Elena’s ”La Macina” oil mill has been producing extra virgin olive oil since 1994. In the beginning we had granite stone millstones and the presses, which were later replaced by grinders and extractor. A few years ago, we remodeled the production plant by also removing the millstones and putting in a disc crusher, enclosed gramers, a three-stage extractor, and the separator. It is a continuous-cycle plant with cold extraction where both our own olives and third-party olives are processed. Our evo oil is characterized by a sweet note given by olive varieties such as leccino and pendolino. From October to December we devote ourselves fully to the production of new oil, and it is possible to witness live the transformation from olive to oil.

During the rest of the year, guided tours and tastings are organized to raise awareness of our product. At any time you can book a tour where an expert will explain step by step all stages of processing with the machinery on view, followed by a tasting of the oil on toasted bread over embers. Inside the oil mill is a sales point where you can find our oil in different formats, both glass and cans, and other typical products of the area. We look forward to seeing you at the mill to guide you through the magical world of olives and oil.
