Eggares Olive Press

TIME : 2016/2/18 19:00:38

From Melanes (or Hora), a worthy side-trip is to this sweet set-up in the village of Engares. A guide explains the workings of this small olive press (in operation from 1850 to 1960), and there are free tastings of olive-based products. The store here sells oil, pastes, soaps and unguents, plus cake and coffee.
