Sabina is a region, just north of Rome and famous for it's high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Harvest time happens just once a year, when the olives turn from green to black and at their best with the highest amount of anti-oxidants. The local farmers are currently harvesting their olives to make their own D.O.P. extra virgin olive oil. (D.O.P. means that the olives are grown, picked, pressed and bottled in the same region, in this case, in Sabina).
If you want to find out what good olive oil is all about, Convivio Rome now conducts 2 types of Olive Tours: 1/ An afternoon Olive Grove Tour during our 3 and 5 night Italian Cooking Holidays, and
2/ A Half Day (3 hour) Olive Oil Tour.
