The program of the guided visits Sorrento mill is developed in different stages, everyone an inseparable piece in the reconstruction of the olive oil character. Stages: 1.

For this reason we have built a path inside the olive grove, which illustrates this important moment in the oil process. 2. Visit to the old mill and introduction of the traditional olives processing method Our story begins in the nineteenth century, and it is for us an important cultural baggage.
