Flourishing at the cross-roads of millennial civilizations and trade routes, the Antioch region has given us one of the richest and most sophisticated culinary cultures of the world. While assimilating diverse tastes from many civilizations over centuries, Antioch’s cuisine has nonetheless always maintained its Mediterranean character. Aleppo’s equally famous cuisine, on the other hand, displays remarkable similarities to Eastern Anatolian cuisine with its rich array of kebabs, mezzes and desserts.

In this three day weekend tour, we learned all about olives. We had a lecture on olives, we handpicked olives from the trees and observed them turn into cold pressed oil in the museum. Then we had the chance to visit a modern factory and see the difference between production methods.
We had wonderful food with local ingredients at the workshop in Adatepe and enjoyed the surroundings. We are looking forward to another weekend next year…
