Olive oil tasting
Discover the Olive Oil Heritage of Matera
Step into the MOOM Matera Olive Oil Museum and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of olive oil production that has shaped the region for centuries. Unlike modern industrial settings, the museum offers a journey back in time, leading you through ancient subterranean vaults and authentic stone chambers where olive oil was once produced by hand and with the help of animals.
A Unique Underground Experience
Descending into the museum’s historic cellars, visitors are transported to an era when olive oil was a vital part of Matera’s economy and daily life. The passageways and chambers reveal equipment and artifacts used in age-old processes, from robust millstones to intricate storage vessels. Soft lighting and authentic architecture preserve the rich atmosphere, giving guests a rare insight into traditional methods rarely seen today.
Learn With Expert Audio Guides
Complement your walk through history with detailed audio commentary available in English or Italian. These guides provide context and deeper understanding of how olive oil shaped the culture, commerce, and cuisine of Matera. Discover stories about the olive harvesting seasons, the transformation from raw fruit to liquid gold, and the significance of olive oil in local traditions.
Savor Genuine Olive Oil

Tasting sessions at MOOM are designed to help even newcomers appreciate the nuances that make Italian olive oil world-famous. It's a chance to experience the connection between land, labor, and flavour firsthand.
