Umbria: guided tour to traditional oil mill + Premium olive oil…

Giano dell'Umbria is a charming medieval village in the "green heart" of Italy. It overlooks a beautiful silver landscape of olive trees. It is a place of perfect ecological balance where people have always lived in harmony with nature.
The extraction of olive oil is an ancient ritual rich in symbolism, which is repeated every year in a magic of history, culture, tradition and folklore. The Del Sero family lives in Moriano, a couple of kilometers from Giano, and for generations has cultivated olive trees and produced extra virgin olive oil.
Del Sero oil is extracted using the traditional method of first cold pressing, with granite millstones and hydraulic presses, in a recently built plant that integrates well with the surrounding landscape.
The mill has production and bottling units and large rooms for guests. A protected path allows monitoring all stages of the production process and a large room can easily accommodate large groups of people in a welcoming atmosphere.
Guests can also enjoy over 2,000 square meters of green areas dotted with centuries-old olive trees, the "piazza della macina" and a large parking lot.
The Frantoio is easily accessible and well connected to the main national highways. It can be reached quickly from the center of the main cities (Rome 1.5 hours - Florence 2 hours - Ancona 1.5 hours - Perugia 40 hours). And it is easily reachable from the main regional tourist destinations (Spoleto, Assisi, Todi, Montefalco, Bevagna, Spello...).
Guests will be able to live an exciting experience, discovering the world of olive oil, learning about its history and culture and appreciating its beneficial effects on health and taste.
