In Presicce, everything revolves around Apulia's "yellow gold". Located in the heart of Salento, this town has kept the Italian olive oil traditions alive for thousands of years. In addition to the olive oil mills and farms, the town is also home to ancient structures carved into the rock, which were used back in the ninth century. Discover them with an expert guide, venturing into the maze of alleys, squares, palaces and churches. Walk along Via Gramsci to Piazza del Popolo, and enter the underground town, where you can visit 8 of the 23 underground olive oil mills. Active until the early 20th century, they still hold the presses and millstones that were once used for pressing olives. To better understand the ties between this area and olive oil, visit the Museum of Rural Civilisation, inside the elegant Ducal Palace. Finally, relax in the Salento countryside, in the shade of ancient olive trees, enjoying a typical lunch featuring olive oil and traditional products such as friselle bread, taralli crackers, focaccia and fresh cheeses paired with a glass of local wine. A delicious adventure to discover the real Apulia.
