Adatepe Olive Oil Museum, Küçükkuyu Belediyesi, Ayvacık, Çanakkale, Turkey
As the first of its kind in Turkey Olive Oil “Factory – Museum” since 2001 welcomes tens of thousands of local and foreign visitors.
The culture of olive and olive oil goes so deeply that it finds expression in various forms in all the written sacred books. Although there is such an old and rooted culture in our country, the reason for the birth of Adatepe Olive Oil Museum is that the written and visual materials related to this product are not to be tried . While the historical soap house in Küçükkuyu is restored, the production of olive oil in dry printing style is being continued. On the other hand, a variety of tools, accessories and accessories related to the olive, olive oil and soap production collected from the surrounding villages are exhibited in the factory.
Old olive oil presses, olive picking tools, transport and storage containers, various folkloric objects can be seen in the museum . At the same time, the technique of making olive oil soap in a traditional manner is also exhibited.
