I Due Trappeti

A 16th-centuryolive mill.

Five centuries of history, two ancient olive mills.

Our story.

In Salento a trappeto is the ancient hypogeum olive mill carved into the stone.

Two olive mills underground

Our restaurant lives within the walls of a 16th-century building in Galatina that housed two of them: two millstones and two crews of workers milling olives underground.

The amphora and the drill

Freshly pressed oil passed from the amphorae into the storage jars and was left to rest there: little by little it rose to the top, while the water stayed at the bottom.
