Fara In Sabina With your hands

Farm and mill visit with tasting, Sabina DOP

Fara in Sabina

The Sabina was pressing oil before most of Italy had thought about it, and these trees are old enough to look like sculpture. The family opens the mill and walks you out among them.

How the day goes

  1. Into the mill, where the fruit becomes oil and the process stops being abstract.
  2. Out into groves the family has farmed for a very long stretch of its own history.
  3. A tasting at the end of what the mill actually made.
