Oiling the Wheels of History

Oiling the Wheels of History

The olive oil contains several phenolic compounds and a ton of history! This tour has been designed for people who are eager to learn some of it while having fun. During our hike through the grove and back in time, the food, the fuel, the medicine, the light, the heat, the pigment carrier, will all come into one, as we will unfold the millennia-old relationship of our species with the ‘liquid gold’.

Theory will then come into life with a hands-on experiment session regarding the usages of the olive oil and its ancient production process. Somewhere under the trees the reward both for the hike and the work will be waiting for you, in the form of an olive oil tasting and a picnic with local seasonal goodies! Later we will head back to Biolea to see the stone mill and the presses of the factory and connect them to what we’ll have already learnt. Our tour will end there and you will hopefully have greasy hands paired with a satisfied mind!

Ήταν η πρώτη φορά που επισκεφθήκαμε ένα εργοστάσιο λαδιού και ήταν φανταστική επιλογή!

Η διαδρομή είναι καταπληκτική, με πολύ ωραία θέα!!!

Υπέροχη ξενάγηση στο εργοστάσιο, με πολλές πληροφορίες και λεπτομέρειες για την παραγωγή του ελαιολάδου. Μάθαμε τόσα πολλά για τις διαφορές στην ποιότητα του ελαιολάδου και τις τεχνικές παραγωγής!

Μάθαμε τόσα πολλά από την επίσκεψη μας στην ΒΙΟΛΕΑ – ποιος ότι υπήρχαν τόσα πολλά να ανακαλύψει για την παραγωγή του λαδιού; Η ξενάγηση ήταν συναρπαστική, πολύ μορφωτική και το λάδι πολύ νόστιμο.

Our experience at Biolea Olive Oil Estate was fantastic. Chloe, daughter of the owner, was friendly and knowledgeable about olive trees, olives, and of course the organic oil production for the family brand.

Our guide was very interesting. The place is a little bit hard to find but it worth it! It’s a beautiful place to visit and the olive oil is very good!

I had a very kind email contact with Chloe and we’ve visited biolea today. We had tour through the fabric, with a lot of information. It was very interesting and Chloe was very friendly! At the end of the tour you had the chance to try the different oils! Really good! We can recommend it!!!
