Museo de la Almazara

–

The Museo de la Almazara in Montesa, Valencia, offers an in-depth insight into the region’s olive-growing tradition. Housed in an old olive mill, the museum illustrates the history and process of olive oil production, from olive harvesting to oil extraction. The local cooperative, formed in the 20th century, plays a crucial role in the economy of Montesa, bringing together farmers to optimise the production and marketing of oil. The museum highlights the importance of this cooperative in the preservation of traditional techniques and local economic development, and is an important cultural and educational centre for visitors and residents.
