Watch extra-virgin olive oil being produced at a mill in Canino and savor its extraordinary flavor when drizzled over local specialties. Along the way, you will pause for photos of two medieval churches near the town of Tuscania – Santa Maria Maggiore and the Basilica of San Pietro. The latter is so atmospheric and architecturally spectacular that it was used as a set for the Academy Award-winning film “Romeo and Juliet.” The nearby town of Canino is known more for its olive oil, which carries a Protected Designation of Origin that guarantees that it is produced, processed and prepared locally using traditional methods. You will gain an understanding of those time-honored steps while touring the Canino oil mill. The extra-virgin variety must be cold-pressed within 12 hours of harvesting, giving it an intense green color, low acidity and a medium fruity taste. As you will see, it perfectly complements the Italian specialties that you will be served.
