But it&#8217;s also the way this oil is produced that makes it so unique and gives it such a distinct personality. \u201cThe philosophy our grandparents passed down to us is to &#8216;talk to the olive trees&#8217; every day,\u201d Juana says, explaining the family&#8217;s belief that the best olive oil is produced by taking the best possible care of the trees, which are ultimately the olive oil producers.<\/p>\n<p>When guests visit the hacienda they are greeted by a member of the family, who tells them how Basilippo&#8217;s signature extra virgin olive oil is made, from the cultivation of the olive trees to the production of the final product. \u201cWe take people to the olive grove, the mill and the cellar, as well as our family museum, and then at the end of the visit there is a tasting of our different olive oils,\u201d says Juana. \u201cWe tell people the secret to identifying a real extra virgin olive oil, and afterwards we have a very special meal to make our guests feel at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/03\/Basilippo_credit_JMCasco-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Olive Oil in Seville\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Basilippo_credit_JMCasco-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Basilippo_credit_JMCasco-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Basilippo_credit_JMCasco-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Basilippo_credit_JMCasco-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Basilippo_credit_JMCasco-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Basilippo_credit_JMCasco.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The family use fresh produce from the immediate surroundings to cook up typical Andaluc\u00edan dishes. Naturally, extra virgin olive oil is the protagonist, as the family even dresses each person&#8217;s salad with the olive oil best suited to their individual tastes. \u201cFrom the first day we started receiving guests, we had a clear idea that the food we served would be the same as the food we have at home,\u201d says Juana. The chef prepares dishes like hake in marinara sauce with saffron and seafood, and vanilla ice cream is made using the olive oil, too.<\/p>\n<p>With its rich Andaluc\u00edan culture and authentic cuisine, the hacienda continually attracts visitors from across the globe. \u201cThere&#8217;s an enormous interest in our olives and olive oil,\u201d says Juana, \u201cPeople who live outside this Mediterranean culture are attracted to this product and to our kitchen. Sharing a table with these people is enriching, fun and almost always unforgettable. And to come to Seville and share time with a family who produce olive oil is an unforgettable experience for guests, too. Extra virgin olive oil is an icon of Seville and Andaluc\u00eda, so this is a fantastic opportunity to discover the secrets of this product and perhaps even take some back home with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/destinations\/europe\/spain\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Visit Spain<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Visit the hacienda on the <\/em><em>Spanish Wonder<\/em><em>, <\/em><em>Best of Spain<\/em><em>, <\/em><em>Highlights of Spain and Portugal<\/em><em>, or <\/em><em>Spain, Morocco and Portugal<\/em><em> trip with Trafalgar.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Image credits: Cover photo \u00a9\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/japanese-olive-crowns-gm501068784-81141521\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iStock \/ leChamp<\/a>.
