The holy olive oil of Valdichiana Aretina

A stay in Valdichiana Aretina looking for food and wine excellences and pure spirituality

Valdichiana Aretina contains and hides some secrets and spiritual paths which are immersed in the purest nature. Living this side of Tuscan land, once the “granary” of the Etruscans, means being able to find oneself thanks to its spiritual paths: just think that St. Francis from Assisi often came to these sweet hills to devote himself to prayer and immerse in the quiet nature.

 

In fact, here you will find the famous Celle di Cortona, the Franciscan hermitage hidden in this splendid medieval city, among holm oak and oak woods. In this perfect combination of nature and spirituality, you can also delight your taste buds and discover the true flavors of earth thanks to a product that is considered "sacred" here in Tuscany: Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

 

This divine nectar is still produced today according to ancient traditions and respecting its original flavor, which has remained unchanged over the centuries. Also, you can taste the typical products of the area in combination with oil.
