Imagine living the pleasure of harvesting and producing Extra Virgin Olive Oil through a multisensory experience.
The tour will begin with a visit to the church ofSanta Maria degli Angeli,a typical example of rupestrian architecture of Greek Orthodox rite, carved into the steep part of the Gravina, probably built between 700 and 800 but discovered only in the 50s of last century following the renovation of Via Fontana la Stella. You have to know that this church was originally known as Santa Maria delle Tombe, because of the tombs present both inside and outside the church. This is also the only rock church to have preserved in the nave the altar used during liturgical functions for the distribution of the Eucharist, called “ara”.
From here, you will walk along theAqueduct Bridge,situated on the ravine of the torrent, joining the new town to the old one, several times protagonist of important film sets, as in 2020 for the 007 movie “No Time to Die “., “Tolo Tolo” by Checco Zalone, “Pinocchio” by Garrone, “The Last Paradise” by Scamarcio, “Captain Maria”, “Maria Magdalena” and others.
Connected to the Ponte Acquedotto, thanks to the last remaining tower of the sixteenth-century walls, there is the so-called“Medieval Bastion,which represented not only a means of defence, but also a meeting place for many Gravinesi, given the possibility of getting water and maybe having a chat. You have to know, in fact, that the bastions were defensive elements built around the 15th century and had the purpose of protecting the “cortine”, that is the straight stretches of wall more exposed to enemy attacks. Crossing the Bastion you can enjoy the suggestive view of the archaeological area of Petramagna and the countless caves that characterize the landscape of the opposite side of the Canyon.
The second part of the tour will continue with thevisit to the oil mill. Here you will proceed with the washing, and within a few hours of collection, the olives will pass to the pressing, taking care and avoiding over-ripening of the olives. You will proceed with observing the following processes involving gramolatura, centrifugation, storage and bottling.
At the end of the experience you will be delighted with a tasting among the olive groves based on food prepared at home, according to local tradition, using natural and genuine products from the countryside.
