In fact, consumers are increasingly approaching the world of nutrition with greater awareness, helping to carry on important battles: to democratize “good food” and to create, around the world of food, a particular interest. Although wine levels have not yet come to an end, oil is also creating cultural interest so much that, in many travelers, following the suggestion of centuries-old olive groves, they are pleasantly surprised to find farms, mills and other structures of olives they did it virtue.
The village of Seggiano, a charming hamlet situated at the foot of Mount Amiata, is trying to build a tourist circuit around the tasty world of oil. In order to promote and recall a certain kind of tourism, Seggiano has built a path that leads the visitor to know the oil and specifically the Olivastra Seggianese monocultivar in all its forms and declinations. An oil museum is open to the public and other projects of a scientific and promotional nature are at the basis of a valid path that intends to increase awareness of the typical cultivation of Seggiano.
