Do you want to find out how the prized extra virgin olive oil is produced in Puglia? Then we recommend that you take part in our guided tour in Martano, a town located a few kilometers from the cities of Lecce and Otranto.

Our oil tour is structured as follows:

• guided tour of an ancient underground oil mill: underground caves dug into the soft tuff or limestone within which olive oil was produced. In the underground oil mills there was the right temperature to preserve the oil for a long time and to prevent it from solidifying;
• guided tour of a modern oil mill: here instead we will discover the evolution of production techniques that have made Apulian olive oil a product of the highest quality;
• guided tasting by an expert in organic extra virgin olive oil and typical Apulian baked goods.
