Overview & Description
Our Monte Formento olive oil tasting and presentation are designed to satisfy all your senses. Under the expert guidance of experienced hosts, you will embark on a journey that explores the rich history, cultivation techniques, and olive oil production process. The presentation will take you through picturesque landscapes where olive trees thrive, revealing the fascinating stories of the Grebac family. The olive oil Monte Formento tasting room is named after a medieval military fortress located in the area of Kaštelir, mentioned in the year 1120 as one of the fortifications of the Aquileia Patriarchate in Istria. It was built in the middle of an olive grove planted by our great-great-grandfather 118 years ago. In order to construct the tasting room at that location, 24 old olive trees were removed and transplanted to other olive groves.
Opening hours:
11:00 – 17:00 Monday to Saturday or by appointment with the host
