Meet in Cefalù and depart for the rocky massifs of the Madonie on a Pikup.
The activity takes place in San Mauro Castel Verde, a shepherd's village located in the Madonie Mountains.
Arrival in the vast territory of the Turrisi family, which has been running an agricultural business for several generations, breeding cows and harvesting olives.
Meet “Nonno Nanni,” the head of the family and a Sicilian shepherd whose figure bears the marks of working in the fields. Everything is done according to tradition. You won't find any modern equipment for mass production, and Turrisi products are certified organic.
After the explanation, those who wish to can take part in the manual harvest with the stick, the emptying into the bins, the crank-operated leaf remover, and the filling of the bags. Themed lunch break with organic extra virgin olive oil, cheese, meat, and homemade vegetables. Everything is prepared and consumed on site, surrounded by an extraordinary landscape. Finally, we move on to the oil press and then to its storage. Everyone leaves with their little treasure: fresh organic extra virgin olive oil made with love.
Drop-off in Cefalù.
