Good Olive Oil and Friendly Welcoming! - I recommend! Very interesting tour with clear explanations and well done illustration videos. Rich and varied tasting of quality oils from this Family Enterprise, and a bonus local aperitif to finish. Very good time with my 12 year old son. Many thanks to Angelica for all this!

superb experience - Great tour of olive oil production with the machines in front of you followed by tasting of different oils. There is no possibility of explanation in French but the explanation in English is very clear, with videos to make an even more concrete representation. There were only 2 of us during the visit and it was a very appreciable moment. Thanks to Angelica for her sympathy! We highly recommend this experience!

Amazing Olive Oil Mill visit! - We had the chance to visit the Perniola Oil Mill in Altamura.
It was a fascinating experience where we learned so much about the Olive processing to get the best „Extra vergine olive oil“ in the world. Special thanks to Angelica who was so passionate about explaining everything and answering all of our questions. With her brilliant story telling skills she brought the olive processing to live - even though it was not even close to olive harvesting season.
The Perniola Oil Mill is absolutely a Must-See in Altamura if you want to learn everything about olive oil.
The highlight was the final oil tasting where we could compare the taste of four different oils.
Mille Grazie, Angelica and the entire Perniola team for this unforgettable experience!

Great! - We had an excellent tour of the olive mill , tested the olive oils and had some delicious aperitif afterwards. I thought the tour was very well done, she explained things very well and also showed videos of the process to further demonstrate. We bought some of the delicious olive oil afterwards. We especially enjoyed the infused olive oils (they have some olive oils that have real
Lemons, oranges, rosemary, garlic, chili, etc - smelled and tasted great) . I would highly recommend the tour

Engaging and Informative Tour! A must-do in Altamura! - We had a wonderful time at the olive oil tasting. Angelique (sorry if I misspelled!) was a fantastic host who walked us through all of Perniola’s processes and techniques as to how the company processes at the olive oil. I would highly recommend asking for her to be your guide!
At the end we sampled a number of the company’s products, including some flavored oils (garlic, chili, orange, lemon, and rosemary) which were unlike anything you can get in the US.
Highly recommend this visit!
