Overview

We will start with a small breakfast under the patriarch olive tree, in an old countryside. Later we will go through the caverns of an ancient farmhouse. Under the centuries-old olive trees we will taste Matera bread and prepare a traditional dish from Matera, "la cialledda", which tells of the encounter between the typical bread of Matera, now stale, and the vegetables and mixed salads of the Lucanian land. All this will take place in a laboratory, at the end of which we will share this meal as even today the olive pickers do in their breaks. The cialledda will be accompanied by Primitivo wine and from the bundle containing Lucanian Slow Food Presidium products: Caciocavallo Podolico, Baked olives from Ferrandina and Pezzente salami from the Matera mountains. We will also be cheered by the sounds of popular instruments and the songs of the Matera tradition.

Meeting points

Opposite the Francesco Torraca middle school.

End point

Olive oil tasting and a tour of hidden Matera

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide was wonderful. Kind and funny and informative. Wear sneakers and be prepared for surprises! We learned a lot and saw beautiful sights.

With love

Published on Sep, 2024

The tour with Francesco was the highlight of our stay in Matera. We could feel his love and passion for sustainable food production and agriculture as he explained many details about Olive farming. The time with him was not only an ordinary tourist attraction to us. We are so thankful for the personal experience and the wonderful places he showed us. Danke! Liebe Grüße aus Innsbruck (Weerberg) von Hannes und Anna

Great local experience

Published on Sep, 2022

This was a really grear tour. It was lovely to see outside Matera. We were picked up in Matera centre and driven to beautiful olive groves just outside Matera. There we heard about the olive trees and tasted some olive oil. We then progressed on to a beautiful abandoned Masseria and heard some history about that and local customs. Then we were brought to an old cave dwelling cut into the limestone rock that had amazing views of the valley. We didn't expect this and it was quite amazing. We finished off at sundown back at the masseria eating a local salad dish we assembled together which was very delicious. A really great experience. Highly recommended

Excellent guide

Published on Sep, 2022

Giuseppe was an excellent guide. He explained methods used for extracting the olives from the trees and showed us the different types of trees. Then, after tasting the oil, we drove to an ancient cave and learned about the primitive ways that families lived in caves, then later, stone structures. Finally, we tasted Matera bread salad with olive oil. Not only did he do an excellent job of explaining the olive oil process, he was very personable.

Awesome experience

Published on Aug, 2022

It was really unique experience. We didn't expect such an awesome evening in Matera:) We had a tour with Emanuele and Giovanni and we were amazed by their knowledge about olives and their attitude. There were only two of us and they agreed to organized the tour for us. We couldn't choose better way to spend the evening :) A lot of knowledge, interesting places and delicious food and olive oils of course. Thank you very much!
