Saturday 30th May olive oil museum and tasting opportunities (and buying opportunities of course!)

We had an educational but very fun morning at the olive oil museum. Cost €20 each including the museum, tour of machinery to process Tuscan olive oil ….and then tasting oils and Tuscan delicacies.

It was an interactive museum with fun explanations and videos …. So much more to olive oil than we had realised.

Its health benefits were amazing. Extra virgin olive oil is the best for health. 1 tablespoon a day. I could give a lecture on it now!

Cooking, beauty, health all benefits of olives. The olive tree wood, the planting, the seasons for tending the plants, the harvest…. Vince and I know it all now( we were the only 2 people there and had a great talk with Chiana our host. We got on well with her and she appreciated our interest)

We got the message only buy Italian olive oil and Tuscany olives are the best 😉

We were there for a good two and a half hours and it was so interesting not boring at all. 

We spent the afternoon at Arezzo and in the park. 

Then headed back to pack up ready for an early start tomorrow. 

Tomorrow we go to the Dolomites for a week.
