Alcalá Oliva Oil Museum

Description

The museum is located in a building that is more than a century old, known as the factory of the Caserías de San Isidro. Alcalá Oliva has carried out a hard work of rehabilitation of all the buildings and their surroundings, returning to this place part of its former charm.

At the bottom is the machinery of a 19th century mill, faithful reflection of the production systems of the time, as well as original tools and useful. At the top you can deepen the culture of olive and oil, entering the world of the tasting ofextra virgin. There are rest areas, a projector with audiovisual to learn more about the olive cycle and the current production systems, as well as excellent panoramic views of the Fortaleza de la Mota, which rises imposing on the horizon, surrounded by the olive sea.

Finally we have a "Agro-shop" for sale of products as well as other typical jiennese products and a "Rincón Sensorial" to taste our oils. The entire facility has explanatory panels in English and Spanish. It is designed to be accessible to people with reduced mobility (lift, ramps...) and is heated. Free Wi-Fi is also available for visitors.
