Embark on a sensory journey into the heart of Verona’s countryside, where the ancient art of olive oil making thrives amidst the rolling hills and olive groves. This immersive experience introduces you to the world of extra virgin olive oil, guided by a family who has cultivated and processed olives for over half a century.

The adventure begins with a visit to the "Campo di Casa," a unique experimental olive grove located just next to the mill. Here, you will walk among the trees, discovering the rich heritage and agricultural practices that have shaped olive cultivation in the region. This small but symbolic piece of land reflects centuries-old traditions and the modern innovation that sustains the local olive oil industry today.

After exploring the grove, you’ll move on to the main attraction—the cutting-edge olive oil mill. This is no ordinary mill, but a "Frantoio 4.0," where modern technology meets age-old craftsmanship. As part of the guided tour, you will gain insight into the production process, from olive pressing to oil extraction, and learn about the techniques used to maintain the highest quality standards. This innovative mill is committed not only to producing exceptional olive oil but also to sustainability. The by-products of olive oil production, once considered waste, are recycled and transformed into valuable resources like heating fuel and biomass, showcasing the mill's dedication to environmental stewardship.

Adjacent to the modern facilities lies the historical Bonamini family Oil Museum. Here, you will step back in time to see how olive oil was once produced using traditional methods. The contrast between the past and present highlights the mill's enduring philosophy: blending respect for tradition with a passion for innovation.

The highlight of your visit is, of course, the olive oil tasting. You’ll be guided by an expert who will introduce you to the nuances of extra virgin olive oil. With three different oils to sample, you will learn how to identify their unique flavors and aromas. From the delicate and fruity notes of the local Grignano variety to the robust and bold flavors of other regional oils, each sample tells a story of the land and the people who have nurtured it. The tasting is accompanied by a selection of traditional bites, allowing you to experience how these exquisite oils elevate local cuisine.

This family-run mill has deep roots in the area, with a history of nearly 60 years. Today, it is recognized internationally for its quality products, including certified P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) and organic olive oils. Their commitment to sustainable practices, innovation, and respect for the land has made this mill a symbol of excellence in Italy's olive oil industry.In the shadow of Verona’s eastern hills, where the olive trees have stood for generations, this tour offers an unparalleled insight into the craftsmanship behind one of Italy’s most prized culinary treasures.
