Begin your journey with a warm welcome and an introduction to the history of this hidden underground mill, once used to produce precious lamp oil in the Middle Ages. Walk through atmospheric rock-carved rooms, where fossils, old lamps, and original tools tell the story of Apulia’s olive oil tradition.
With the help of an expert guide, discover how olive oil production evolved from its medieval uses to today’s celebrated extra virgin olive oil. See authentic stone millstones, presses, and ancient machinery that reveal the artistry of traditional techniques.
The experience culminates in a guided tasting. Choose between a basic tasting of three local extra virgin olive oils paired with crunchy frise bread, or a tasting with pairings - a platter featuring fresh mozzarella, capocollo from Martina Franca, olives in brine, Apulian focaccia, and a glass of wine. A delicious way to savor the authentic flavors of Puglia before optionally purchasing artisanal oils to take home.
