Here is what's in store for you
Step into history with a guided visit to a fascinating underground olive mill in Martina Franca, nestled in the heart of Apulia’s Itria Valley. Once a medieval cave used to produce lamp oil, this hidden gem now tells the story of centuries-old olive oil traditions. As you walk through evocative stone chambers, you will admire original millstones, presses, and ancient tools that shaped daily life in southern Italy. Your expert guide will bring the site to life, sharing tales of its decline in the 1960s and its revival in 2005, as well as curiosities about Apulian olive oil heritage.
The experience concludes with a guided tasting of three different local extra virgin olive oils, each with its own unique aroma and character. Your tasting will be paired with a traditional platter featuring mozzarella, olives in brine, Apulian focaccia, capocollo from Martina Franca, and a glass of regional wine. Surrounded by the charm of Martina Franca’s old town and the breathtaking landscapes of the Itria Valley, this visit offers a perfect blend of culture, flavors, and authenticity.
This experience is ideal for travelers seeking to discover the roots of Apulia’s olive oil tradition. Between the underground atmosphere, ancient fossils, and the taste of fresh local products, you will immerse yourself in an authentic journey where history, gastronomy, and passion meet.
