We had a wonderful time visiting the olive farm. We got to see "Jacamo" the 1,200 year old olive tree! We also saw a video of how the olives are harvested and then processed into olive oil, while sitting in the processing area. We then had an amazing buffet lunch, of a variety of foods, made with the olive oil that they produce. Delicious!!!
