The landscape surrounding L’Antica Tenuta is dominated by the majestic presence of centuries-old olive trees, silent guardians of a tradition rooted in the ancient history of Sabina. This area, renowned since Roman times for the exceptional quality of its fruit, is the birthplace of extra virgin olive oil, a product we consider the true "liquid gold" of our land and the undisputed star of our cuisine. Staying at our property in Montelibretti offers the unique opportunity to fully immerse yourself in this olive oil culture, strolling among the silvery rows that decorate the Roman hills and understanding the profound connection between local agriculture and our authentic hospitality. Sabina olive oil is more than just a condiment, but an element of identity that speaks to the hard work, passion, and respect for natural cycles that characterize every aspect of life on our estate. It offers guests a sensory experience that begins with the view of the landscape and culminates in the bold, harmonious flavor of our dishes.

In the Antica Tenuta kitchen, local extra virgin olive oil is the common thread that enhances every ingredient sourced from our garden and nearby producers, ensuring the authenticity our guests seek when escaping the chaos of Rome. Our culinary philosophy is based on showcasing the finest local produce, and the use of the highest-quality olive oil is essential to respecting the traditions of Roman and Sabine flavors. Every drop of oil used at our wedding receptions or dinners in the "Bosco Incantato" brings with it the aromatic notes of wild herbs and the freshness of freshly pressed olives, transforming even the simplest recipe into a masterpiece of gastronomic balance. Our careful selection of olive oil is reflected in our attention to detail and refined table settings, where the bottle of olive oil often becomes an integral part of the table decoration, a symbol of a rich land that welcomes visitors with generosity and pride.

Participating in an event or spending a weekend in our rooms also means having the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of this extraordinary product through experiences that stimulate the senses. Its strategic proximity to Tiburtina Station makes the Tenuta an easily accessible destination for those who, from the capital, wish to discover the secrets of harvesting and pressing, or simply enjoy an outdoor tasting surrounded by manicured gardens and the rejuvenating silence of the countryside. Sabina olive oil represents the very essence of our hospitality: it is authentic, precious, and deeply rooted in our roots. We invite each guest to let themselves be guided by the scents of our land, discovering how such a simple product can encapsulate the entire soul of a region and make every stay at L'Antica Tenuta an unforgettable journey into the heart of authentic Mediterranean culture.
