Description
The olive museum is housed in a building that used to be an olive mill and belongs to the Charlamba family, one of the largest and oldest families on the island. The building has been declared a historic monument by decision of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 1997. It is part of a building complex that includes houses, stables, oil and grain warehouses, etc. and is located in the middle of the settlement. The old mill was built in the early 1800s by the ancestors of the current owner and was in continuous operation until 1978. At first it operated as a horse-drawn carriage, then with a diesel engine and finally with an electric motor.
It was restored and operates as an Olive Museum, culturally approaching the valuable product and presents the traditional techniques of its production.
In the museum there is a tasting area where olive products are offered for testing as well as other local quality products (wine, liqueur, sweet and sour pepper jam, etc.).
The Museum and its equipment are an excellent example of:
- Agricultural tradition
- Pre-industrial technology
- Architectural tradition
