O-Med Olive Oil Mill Tour
Visit an Olive Oil Mill in Sierra Nevada
Located just 25 minutes from Granada, the O-Med Oil Mill is one of the most important producers of extra virgin olive oil in the region. Interested in discovering the process of obtaining the so-called "liquid gold"? You're in the right place!
Upon arrival, the olive groves welcome visitors with picture-perfect scenery that is hard to forget. This oil mill in the heart of the Sierra Nevada specializes in the production, packaging, and marketing of extra virgin olive oil. It respects tradition and applies the latest techniques to obtain one of Spain's most sought-after products.
During the tour, you'll learn about the production process–from the harvesting of olives to the final bottling. You'll also learn about the characteristics of the different cultivated olive varieties, such as Arbequina, Hojiblanca, and Picual.
Tour Options
During the booking process, you can choose between three different tour options. Regardless of the tour you choose, we'll meet at the entrance of the O-Med Oil Mill and you'll have a guide to discover the secrets of olive oil. Please read the details of each tour below:
Tour + Olive Oil Tasting (1 Hour & 10 Minutes)
If you choose this option, you'll go on a guided tour of the O-Med Oil Mill facilities to learn about every detail of the extra virgin olive oil extraction process.
Once the tour is finished, you'll enjoy an exquisite olive oil tasting in a room at the olive mill that offers views of the olive groves.
Tour + Olive Oil Tasting & Tapas (1 Hour & 50 Minutes)
If you choose this tour option, after visiting the oil mill, you'll enjoy an olive oil tasting accompanied by Andalusian tapas such as salmorejo, cheese, and anchovies. Of course, the star product will still be olive oil!
You'll learn how the so-called "liquid gold" affects the final flavor of dishes and how to analyze the product through olfactory, taste, and retronasal sensations.
Tour + Olive Oil Tasting & Lunch (1 Hour & 50 Minutes)
If you wish to have an even more complete experience at the O-Med Oil Mill, this is the best option. After the visit and olive oil tasting, we'll go out to the olive groves to enjoy a delicious picnic-style lunch in the countryside, which includes a selection of cheeses, jamón (Spanish ham), and olives.
