Olive Oil Experience

Posted By : MKomen
If Disneyworld had an olive grove, this would be it. We had so much fun learning about olives, olive oil, and local history. The lunch they prepared was epic. Some of the best we had on our trip.

We can't wait to buy the new harvest olive oil for holiday gifts.

We love visiting Sicily and 2021 was the first time we did the lunch and olive oil tasting (and had a ball trying various harvesting methods!) at Francesco Amadeo’s farmhouse in the olive groves. It was a truly memorable day—not just the delicious, fresh food and olive oil, but his enthusiasm in describing olive cultivation and life in the Belice valley both before and after the 1968 earthquake that changed life forever in this ancient agricultural region. We have been back 4 times, because our friends and family members were interested to learn about the best olive oil we’ve ever tasted. Cannot say enough good things about Frank’s good humor and hospitality!

We spent a wonderful afternoon with Frank at his beautiful farm with our family. We were traveling between Trapani and Agrigento and found this hidden gem for the perfect day.

We were looking for something unique, local, education, and fun. Amodeo's Farm checks all of these boxes. When we arrived at his farm, a huge spread for antipasti was already laid out. The food was delicious and abundant! (Frank packed up the food for us to take home and we ended up canceling our dinner reservation and having the leftovers.) Everything was prepared with his olive oil - even the strawberries for dessert!

Frank showed us around his olive grove and taught us how to harvest olives. All part of a relaxing day. Then, we capped the day off with a fantastic lesson on tasting olive oil. I did not know what to expect, but this was so well done. And Frank's passion for olive oil is contagious.

If you want a great day with the family, I would plan a visit!

I didn't know olive oil could taste this amazing!!!

We had a SPECTACULAR lunch and tour of Amodeo's Farm. The food was fabulous and it was wonderful to learn all about olive oil and the history of the farm. Frank was so incredibly generous with his food, time and knowledge. He was wonderful with our kids, providing them with straw hats, toys in the field, and tools so they could pretend to participate in the harvest. He was also patient with us when we needed to take a break in the middle of the visit so my partner could do some work.

This is a wonderful and special day and fabulous opportunity to get to know a very special industry and person. Don't be fools like us and only buy two bottles of olive oil to bring home!!! Stuff your suitcases!!!!!

Aside from the absolute beauty of the area Frank treated us like family. Frank had a special lunch prepared for us that was simply magnificent. Then we went to a small area and learned how to pick olives by hand and machine. Last but not least we were educated on how to taste olive oil and the differences in olive oils. When your there buy olive oil to take home. We were apprehensive of taking the oil on an airplane bound for the United States. We wrapped each can in bubble wrap, placed them in zip lock bags and packed them in our luggage. They arrived in perfect condition, not a drop leaked out! Don’t miss the opportunity to meet Frank and experience what he has to offer. I promise you that you will never eat an olive or taste olive oil in same manner that you had done previously. Thank you Frank, Questa e stata un’esperienza eccellente, ❤️❤️🇮🇹.

We scheduled our visit on rather short notice. Our family group had an amazing experience! Every detail was attended to and we learned about olive oil, how it is paired with food (completely delicious), and how olives are harvested. We felt like family - and we will definitely go back when we next visit Sicily. In fact, this experience helped make our visit to Sicily!

What a wonderful day we had at Amodeo's. It was great learning how to make olive oil, from the picking of the olives to bottles they end up in. We were served a very traditional Sicilian meal that was DELIZIOSO! This was a real life experience, not a typical tourist experience. Don't miss Amodeo's!

It's hard to narrow it down! Francesco gave me a private tour of rhe farm where I picked olives right from the trees using both traditional & modern techniques. He is a passiomate maestro of his exquisite family business and narrated the entire day. Franca's cooking was endless and fantastica. The view is breathtaking. The experience unforgettable. I will never shop nor taste olive oil the same again! Grazie mille!
