Olive Oil Stone Grinding & Artist Studio

Closer to the outdoor stream, fresh all year, this is where the large heavy olive mill stone once turned and crushed the olives of Corniglia farmers. There are still active Olive mills in Cinque Terre applying ancestral and organic farming methods to produce a delicious DOP Riviera Ligure oil from Cesare’s olive groves.Ligurian oil has a light, golden yellow color and a mild fruity taste. Modern machines cannot be used on the hilly slopes of Cinque Terre, making Cinque Terre olive oil extra special and tasty- Plan to come visit around November if you want to be there for the harvest!
