All about the trip

Starting out from Albergabici in Montalbano we’ll reach the olive grove plain and the ancient Traiana road that in the past connected Rome to Brindisi and today links Fasano and Ostuni by a paved cycling path, with hardly any traffic, full of spots of interest that describe what rural life used to be like. During the tour, we will explain the history of the olive oil, from cultivation to harvest of olives describing the different production methods depending on its final use. Ranging from the lamp oil to high-quality extra virgin, we’ll tell you about the history and the passion developed over the centuries, always in tight connection with the local community. On the trail, we will visit a hypogeum oil mill with old millstone and presses, a fortified Masseria farmhouse, a modern mill and a centenary olive tree.
