EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the traditional grape pressing process at the Abbaye de Notre Dame de Staoueli in Algiers, Algeria. The monks, dressed in their religious attire, are seen working in unison to press the ripe grapes, a labor-intensive task that has been a part of the monastery's history for centuries. The Abbaye de Notre Dame de Staoueli, also known as the Monastery of Our Lady of Staoueli, is a historic monastery located in the heart of Algiers. Founded in the 17th century by French monks, the monastery has been a significant part of the city's cultural and historical landscape. The grape pressing process is an essential step in wine making, and it is fascinating to see how the monks have adapted to the changing times. While traditional methods are still used, the monastery has also incorporated mechanised presses to increase efficiency. The North African climate is ideal for grape cultivation, and the Algerian region is known for its rich wine production. The monks at the Abbaye de Notre Dame de Staoueli have been producing wine for centuries, and their wines are renowned for their unique flavors and high quality. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Algiers and the Abbaye de Notre Dame de Staoueli. It offers a glimpse into the past while showcasing the resilience and adaptability of the monks who continue to preserve the monastery's traditions. The image is a beautiful reminder of the importance of preserving historical sites and cultural practices, making it an excellent addition to any collection of African, historical, or monastic photography.
