Husband and I loved the tour and tasting at the olive farm. It was something unusual and authentic. It felt like we saw a real part of Sorrento, not a shallow tourist version. The box of olive oil we had sent home was packed perfectly and was a wonderful edible remembrance of our trip.

I learned so much about infused olive oil and how it can affect the use on foods. The staff there was well versed in the product and how it is made as well as how to use it.

We were able to do a tasting and them bough several items and they shipped the back to the USA and we received them within 10 days of our visit. Highly recommend.Thoroughly enjoyed our time in the hills above Sorrento with Manuela and Francesca. The tour was very informative and the tasting extremely well organized and delicious. There was no pressure to purchase product although, of course, we did!

We were shown how olive oil is produced today (and how it was produced historically) and tasted at least 20 different olive oils. The english-speaking tour guide was super friendly and enthusiastic and so we would recommend this to everyone.
