Story of the olive press in Sarona

Sarona Olive Press

In the heart of the beautifully conserved Sarona compound is a Templer olive press, which offers visitors an exciting and unique experience that harmoniously blends the old and the new: a coffee shop with a diverse menu, all of whose items are based on olive oil, along with a unique audiovisual presentation. The presentation highlights the olive press, which was established by the Templer more than 100 years ago and has been preserved to this day. The presentation tells the story of the press from Templer times to the present by means of 3D animation projected onto glass screens among the machinery. Alongside the fascinating history, which comes alive in a light, humorous way, the press machinery itself stars in its own right in a very surprising way.
