Festa dell’olio Novo

Set against the enchanting backdrop of the Maremma countryside, the hamlet of Marsiliana transforms into a temple dedicated to Tuscany's liquid gold. The Festa dell'olio Novo celebrates the most anticipated moment of the year for local producers: when freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil emerges from the mills with its intense aroma and emerald green colour. It is an opportunity to rediscover the authentic flavours of rural tradition, where every drop of oil tells stories of lands cultivated with passion and dedication. During the festival, visitors are invited to experience a complete sensory journey: from bruschetta drizzled with local extra virgin oil to typical dishes prepared with zero-kilometre ingredients, from homemade pastries to guided tours of historic mills. Meetings with producers offer valuable opportunities to understand the work behind every bottle and the thousand-year-old value of the olive tree in Tuscan culture. The festival thus becomes a bridge between past and present, between tradition and contemporary times. Artisan markets, folk music and live performances enliven the village, creating a convivial atmosphere where the community celebrates one of the symbols of the Mediterranean diet. The Festa dell'olio Novo in Marsiliana is an invitation to rediscover the deep connection between people, territory and nature, savouring the genuine flavour of Tuscan Maremma.
