Découverte du « Campo di Casa »

Votre aventure commence par une visite du « Campo di Casa », une oliveraie expérimentale située à côté du moulin. Vous marcherez parmi les arbres, tout en découvrant l’héritage et les pratiques agricoles de la région. Ce terrain symbolique incarne à la fois des traditions anciennes et des méthodes modernes qui soutiennent l’industrie de l’huile d’olive locale.

The modern oil mill

Ensuite, vous découvrirez le « Frantoio 4.0 », un moulin à huile moderne où la technologie et l’artisanat se rencontrent. Vous explorerez le processus de production, du pressage des olives à l’extraction de l’huile. Le moulin se distingue par son engagement envers la durabilité. Les sous-produits, autrefois considérés comme des déchets, sont désormais recyclés pour devenir des ressources utiles telles que le combustible de chauffage et la biomasse.

The Bonamini Oil Historical Museum

Near the mill, the Bonamini Olive Oil Historical Museum offers a journey into the past. There, you will discover the traditional methods used to produce olive oil. This contrast between ancient and modern techniques highlights the balance between respect for tradition and a passion for innovation.
