A Unique Experience of Traditional Olive Harvest
Famous sayings claim that the Mediterranean begins and ends with olives. The olive symbolizes progress, beauty, and health, representing immortality, fertility, abundance, and its branch symbolizes peace.
Olive Touch is an educational, gastronomic, and wellness program that celebrates olive oil. In this program, olive growers educate visitors about olive cultivation and harvesting, the benefits of olive oil, and offer a unique experience of traditional olive harvesting through tastings of homemade olive oil.
