What to expect

With centuries of heritage in every drop, Molino de La Paca is the perfect place to explore the art of high-quality olive oil. Here, the bond between local producers and their olive trees - passed down over generations, is felt in every detail.

The experience begins with a stroll through the olive groves surrounding the mill. You'll learn about the care and cultivation of the olive tree and why this fertile land produces some of the region's finest oils.

In the shade of the olive trees, you'll enjoy fresh orange juice from the Guadalhorce Valley and a selection of ripe olives as you delve into the cultural and social importance of olive cultivation in southern Spain.

Next, you'll visit the heart of Molino de La Paca to discover how each olive is transformed into high-quality extra virgin olive oil, from milling to extraction.

Then, you'll get to sample two varieties of olive oil, learning to identify the flavors and aromas that set each apart — and why, unlike wine, its taste doesn't improve with age. It's an excellent chance to compare taste experiences and learn how to recognize the quality and freshness that make a truly great olive oil.

The day ends with a cooking demonstration where you'll learn how to prepare porra antequera, a beloved traditional soup in which olive oil takes center stage. Savor this local specialty and discover why this golden staple of the Mediterranean diet and culture contributes so much to health and longevity.
