oil is the basis of the Mediterranean diet. We have it so deep in our culture that we forget how important and healthy it is, missing it when we go out to other countries and see that gastronomy there is based on worse things.

Always in the pantry, the process is very interesting, so take a look at what we offer you if you visit the oil museum in this small town:
