Our History

Nestled in a sun-drenched valley, the traditional olive oil mill is a harmonious blend of rustic charm and time-honored craftsmanship. Constructed from local stone and timber, the mill exudes a warm, inviting atmosphere, with its weathered walls telling stories of generations past. Large wooden doors open into the heart of the mill, revealing a spacious interior filled with the earthy aroma of fresh olives.

At the center of the mill stands the iconic stone press, a massive circular structure made from ancient granite, which has been used for centuries to extract the precious oil from the olives. The rhythmic sound of grinding and pressing fills the air as skilled artisans carefully oversee the process, ensuring that each batch captures the full essence of the fruit. Nearby, large earthenware jars and stainless steel tanks gleam, ready to store the golden liquid that will soon be bottled for distribution.

Sunlight filters through the mill’s windows, casting a warm glow on the wooden shelves lined with bottles of rich, green olive oil, each labeled with the unique characteristics of its origin. Visitors are often welcomed with tastings, where they can savor the robust flavors and fragrant notes of the freshly pressed oil, accompanied by freshly baked bread and local delicacies.

Surrounding the mill, ancient olive groves stretch as far as the eye can see, their silvery leaves shimmering in the breeze. The sight of gnarled trunks, some over a century old, serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted traditions and the meticulous care that goes into producing this liquid gold. The traditional olive oil mill stands not only as a place of production but as a celebration of culture, heritage, and the enduring love for one of nature's finest gifts.
