Mediterranean Gold: An Olive Oil Experience in Relleu 

Trip Leader

For those who appreciate the finer things in life, an olive oil tour is more than just an excursion—it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the rich culinary traditions and breathtaking landscapes of Spain’s Mediterranean region. Nestled in the picturesque inland mountains of Alicante, the family-run olive grove in Relleu offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at one of the world’s most cherished ingredients: olive oil. 

A Journey Through Olive Oil Heritage 

The tour is a unique opportunity to witness the artistry and dedication behind olive oil production. From the moment you step onto the farm, you’ll be surrounded by the serene beauty of olive trees stretching across rolling hills, their silvery leaves glistening in the warm Spanish sun. The guided tour, led by an English-speaking expert, takes you through the entire process—from the cultivation of the trees to the pressing and extraction methods that yield the liquid gold we use in our kitchens. 

A Sensory Delight: Tasting the Best of the Region 

No visit would be complete without a tasting session. You’ll savor freshly pressed olive oil, expertly paired with rustic bread from a local bakery and ripe tomatoes bursting with Mediterranean flavor. As you dip and taste, you’ll discover the subtle nuances that distinguish high-quality olive oil, learning how to recognize its depth, complexity, and freshness.
