THE OLIVE MILL

The olive mill of Valdinievole.

On the hills of Montecatini Alto, between Lucca an Pistoia, is situated the THE OLIVE MILL. On the hills of Montecatini Alto, between Lucca an Pistoia, is situated the Frantoio – the olive- mill (Via delle Vigne 8/b, close to camping Belsito). In autumn the coltivators of the Valdinievole bring their olives to the mill. Thanks to the climate the olive trees are cultivated here for centuries on a traditional way and produce an excellent olive oil. The olive mill is open every afternoon for selling their products.
Camping Belsito is organizing one or two times a week an excursion to the mill. During that excursion there is the possibility to visit the olive-presses and to taste several local products.
