BENZA Oil mill since 1853
A public deed of the year 1853 proves the purchase by our family of a water mill; that year marked the beginning of the olive pressing activity. In 1500/1600, however, our ancestors already owned plots of land cultivated with olive trees and had started marketing the oil from the Prino Valley, which was called the “Golden Valley” at the time for the colour of the oil it produced.
We are in a valley with a “sea” of olives and we produce, in the tradition, an oil with the colour of gold.
During your stay you should visit the oil mill, to taste and learn more about the qualities (smell, taste) of the oil and the Taggiasche olives.
