This page summarises the main legal framework governing olive oil tourism in Italy.
National framework: olive oil tourism is regulated at national level by the decree of 26 January 2022, which sets out guidelines, minimum quality standards and basic requirements for carrying out olive oil tourism activities.
What the decree does: it defines the essential conditions for offering tourism experiences linked to olive oil production, mills and related territorial value chains.
Regional framework: regions and autonomous provinces may adopt additional implementing rules, procedures or requirements in line with their territorial context.
For operators, this means that compliance must be assessed both against the national standard and against any regional provisions in force.
