TV channel CNN compiled a list with the 11 top food museums in the world. Among them, the Museum of Olive Oil Production, on Lesvos island, Greece, focuses on how Greece's olive oil industry was transformed by the introduction of machinery.

The museum, which is located at the village of Agia Paraskevi, is housed inside a beautiful stone building, where visitors have the opportunity to learn about everything on mass cultivation of olive trees, as well as about the machinery used to crush olive pulp and separate the oil from water.
One of the most interesting parts of the exhibition is that which explains the science behind the acidity test that checks the quality of olive oil.
