My family and I had the pleasure of visiting the LA Organic Experience olive oil tour in Ronda. As soon as we arrived, we were immediately struck by the beauty of the farm and its picturesque setting. Our guide took us on a tour of the olive groves, where we learned about the organic and sustainable farming practices that the farm employs. We were impressed by the farm’s commitment to environmentally-friendly practices, and it was fascinating to see the methods they use to produce their award-winning olive oil.
