If you are looking for an authentic experience that combines taste, territory and knowledge, just on the outskirts of Alberobello – at a point where the provinces of Bari and Taranto meet – you will find Olio Intini: an olive mill and showroom that are easy to reach by car, bike or even on foot, for those who want to enjoy the landscape step by step.
The first company in Puglia to receive the Slow Food Snail Award for its work in protecting and interpreting the local territory, Olio Intini is now a landmark for those who wish to discover the secrets of the finest Apulian extra virgin olive oil.
