Frantoio Ipogeo di Trivento

The origins of the Pavone oil mill date back to the end of the 19th century when oil was extracted from the embankment below Piazza Fontana using the systems of the time: the crushing of the olives in a millstone driven by horses, the pressing with a large wooden press and the manual separation of the oil from the water after natural decantation.
In 1947 by Italo Pavone the mill underwent a real innovative process.
They were introduced two super presses driven by hydraulic pump, a millstone with two granite grinders and a centrifugal separator. A thermal system fed by pomace provided hot water and heating of the premises by means of radiators.
