Taste organic oil in Horta de Sant Joan

In Horta de Sant Joan, organic olive oil has its own identity. If you want to check it out, come to Terres de l’Ebre and let yourself be seduced by its aroma during a visit to the Identitat winery.

In this winery you will see how this type of oil is grown and they will teach you how to prepare a delicious clotxa, a gastronomic specialty of the area.

During the guided tour of their estate, you will walk among centuries-old olive trees and they will explain how to grow organic oil. You will also see how its oil mill works, located in a 12th century house in the center of Horta de Sant Joan.

At the end, in the tasting room attached to the mill it will be time to taste this oil with a badge of environmental quality guarantee, which certifies that its production process has a minimal impact on the environment and that meets environmental criteria.

At the end of the day everyone prepares their own clotxa, a typical peasant sandwich from the area that consists of a bread emptied of crumbs and stuffed with salted sardines and roasted tomatoes, garlic and oil. A good ending to close this oil tourism experience.
