OLY/ PLY Warm-Up | New Oil: Tasting and Learning Experiences

Step into the heart of tradition with a guided tour of the historic Ballarini Oil Mill.

During this immersive experience, you’ll discover the fascinating story of the mill — from its origins, even before it became an oil press, to its evolution over the years.

As you walk through the frantoio, you’ll learn about the olive varieties grown in the Val Tramigna, the stages of olive processing, and the craftsmanship behind the production of high-quality extra virgin olive oil.

The visit concludes with a sensory tasting session: enjoy freshly pressed oil drizzled on a piece of bread, compare the aromas and flavors of different olive oils through a guided tasting in small glasses, and savor bruschette topped with the mill’s signature products preserved in oil.

An authentic experience that celebrates the flavors, culture, and history of a timeless tradition.

The term OLY / PLY Warm-Up refers to the free Olympic and Paralympic “Warm-Up” experiences that are part of the initiative “Towards the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics: sport and wellness as a driver of attractiveness for Verona and Local Brands”, co-funded by resources from the National Tourism Fund – Current Expenditure 2025, and promoted by the Veneto Region.
