Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting at a Family Frantoio in Ugento

Step inside one of Puglia's most awarded family frantoi, producing extra virgin olive oil for four generations since 1917. Run entirely on solar energy with a zero-waste production cycle — where even olive pomace becomes fertiliser and eco-fuel — Frantoio Congedi represents the future of Italian olive oil. Grown in the coastal microclimate of Ugento, just steps from the Ionian Sea, the estate's oils carry the unmistakable character of the Salento terroir. Your guide will walk you through every stage of this living tradition, from grove to bottle, before leading you through a sensory tasting of multiple oil varieties paired with local specialties.
