Discover the history and traditions of olive oil production in the heart of the Plain of Monumental Olive Trees near Ostuni, a unique agricultural landscape characterized by centuries-old olive trees and ancient rural paths. Walk through a beautiful olive grove surrounded by majestic monumental trees and historic rural features, and learn about the deep connection between this land and olive oil production.
The tour includes a visit to an ancient underground oil mill, where you will discover how olive oil was produced in the past and learn about the traditional methods once used by local farmers. This fascinating space now hosts a small museum dedicated to olive oil production, included in the extended visit.
You will also learn about the modern process of extra virgin olive oil production from a family of producers with a tradition spanning five generations, combining knowledge passed down through time with contemporary techniques.
The experience concludes with an educational olive oil tasting, designed to help you recognize the characteristics of high-quality extra virgin olive oil. You will taste four different samples of extra virgin olive oil from our production, including both single-variety oils and blends, carefully selected according to the season. The tasting is accompanied by water and traditional Apulian tarallini.
