Discover the rich olive oil heritage of Montenegro on a guided visit to a working olive mill near Kotor. Your experience begins with a warm welcome from Zoran, your host and the third generation of his family to run the mill. He’ll greet you with a glass of rakiya, a traditional Montenegrin brandy, before leading you on a tour through the old and new parts of the estate.
Learn about the evolution of olive oil production,, from century-old stone presses to today’s stainless steel techniques—and hear stories of how the family has passed down their craft for generations. Zoran explains what makes different olive oils unique, how to taste them properly, and what to look for in quality oil.
You’ll watch a short 15min film about the oil-making process (or witness the equipment at work during olive season in October/November), then enjoy a delicious tasting. Sample several of the estate’s finest olive oils, served with prosciutto, local cheeses, fresh olives, and a glass of wine. It’s a flavor-packed way to connect with Montenegro’s agricultural roots and culinary culture.
After the tasting, you can browse the small shop with olive oils, local spirits, and soaps.
