A tasting among the ancient olive groves of Venafro, a Roman olive-growing town whose oils were praised in antiquity and which lend their name to the Aurina cultivar. Guests walk the historic oliveto, see the mill, and taste single-variety extra virgin oils on bread, with caciocavallo, learning to judge fruitiness, bitterness and pungency.
