The history of oil in Apulia is ancient and is intertwined with that of southern Italy. The olive tree was a particularly widespread plant throughout our country, and from its berries was made one of the main products of our gastronomy, now exported all over the world.
The first traces of the presence of the olive trees in Apulia date back several millennia, and it was mainly the Phoenicians, Greeks, Arabs and Romans who spread its cultivation in the Apulian hills. The same squeezing of olives to produce oil was known several centuries before Christ, and amphorae and jars used to hold olive oil can be seen at the National Museum in Taranto.
To enjoy the goodness of this product, why not take advantage of one of the many experiences offered by Movery? With us you can learn about oil production techniques and taste the best products of the Apulian territory.
