For about 8 centuries the production of oil has been a ritual for Masseria L'Astore. The chapel of San Giovanni (13th C. DC ) with its Byzantine crypt, located on our estate, is historical evidence of the work of the Basilian monks, creators of the cultivation of the olive tree in the land reclaimed from the Mediterranean maquis. Olive growing is one of the oldest activities in Salento and the underground oil mill of L'Astore, which dates back to the early 1800s, was one of the most important processing centers in the area.
In some corners of our farm time seems to have stopped between the millstones turned by the mules and the heroic effort of the millers echoes in the air, it is there that we still have our oil tasted today. L'Astore oil is produced from 3 olive cultivars: Cellina di Nardò or Saracena, Ogliarola and Leccino, coming entirely from the 40 hectares of owned olive grove.
