About O’live & Italy

“O’Live & Italy” is a project for the development and disclosure of the olive oil culture

The Project

The cultural project is designed with different activities throughout the year, both for Italian and foreigners. Revolves around the re-discovery of the culture of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. All activities will be bilingual (Italian-English). They will also be involved small local producers (cultural and gastronomic). These activities will be repeatable over the years, so as to become a reference point for fans from around the world. The headquarters of the Association is the Casa del Tempo Ritrovato an old restored country house, where it operates a small B&B.
