The journey of every drop of premium extra virgin olive oil begins at the olive mill, the sacred place where the juice is lovingly extracted directly from the olive. Originally, these spaces housed rustic mills consisting of stone mortars designed to process small quantities of fruit by hand. Over the centuries, these rudimentary tools evolved into sophisticated presses equipped with levers and screws, until the first true industrial mills emerged in ancient Greece in the 6th century BC.
A fascinating fact is that the word "almazara" comes directly from the Hispano-Arabic "al-ma'sara ," which literally means "place where one presses." Historically, these vital milling centers were strategically located in the heart of cities and towns to facilitate transport and immediate distribution of the product.
Today, the sector has reinvented itself, and many of these traditional and modern facilities are opening their doors to the public through olive oil tourism . This exciting cultural and gastronomic activity allows travelers to learn in detail about the meticulous production process, participate in guided tastings, and purchase exclusive limited editions directly from the source.
