Omera

[00:16]Host: Yes dear viewers, now we have moved on to the grape molasses press.

[00:20]Host: We were touring the village of Omerx, and now we have reached the molasses press. Now we will see...

[00:51]Host: Good day to you.

[00:52]Guest: Welcome, may your day be bright, welcome, guests on my head, on our heads, on our eyes.

[00:58]Host: Oh thanks, can we get to know you first?

[00:59]Guest: Welcome, my name is Dawud.

[01:01]Host: You are welcome Uncle Dawud.

[01:02]Guest: Welcome.

[01:03]Host: May God keep you, may your hands and feet be healthy.

[01:05]Host: Today we are guests in your village, we passed by, we will do a little bit of this work.

[01:08]Guest: Guests on my head, we all do this work. Guests of peace.

[01:12]Host: We came when you saw Umer... we came... you reminded us of the molasses press.

[01:17]Guest: You said there is a grape molasses press here.

[01:19]Host: Molasses press.

[01:20]Guest: We were curious too, so today we came to visit you.

[01:22]Guest: Well welcome, may your day be bright.

[01:24]Host: Let's talk a little, has this press been here since old times, or were there other presses before?

[01:29]Guest: Since old times presses were made of rock, made of rock, they used to press, poor people used to press.

[01:36]Guest: And the basins... the basins were not like this.

[01:39]Guest: At night they would make piles, put them on top of each other... and press them.

[01:45]Guest: Then, after that, these came out.

[01:48]Guest: These were good, machines essentially.

[01:50]Guest: And after that, we modernized it, we made this one, here it is.

[01:55]Guest: This is also good, acceptable, good.

[01:57]Host: What is the name of that?

[01:58]Guest: That name... is it a single number?

[02:00]Guest: Basin, that is an old basin.

[02:01]Host: Old basin?

[02:02]Guest: Old basin... this one is newly made, modern, on the principle of oil (presses), it is a piston.

[02:08]Guest: It is good.

[02:10]Host: And what is that other earth?

[02:12]Guest: This is the crushing floor, instead of stomping on it, it comes up high...

[02:16]Guest: It falls into the crushing floor.

[02:18]Guest: It is cleaner than that, better than that, than feet.

[02:22]Host: Yes, we have seen many villages, you know? Some have those old presses.

[02:26]Guest: They exist, yes now people bring them, they exist, yes.

[02:28]Host: Some are made on rocks, those...

[02:30]Host: I mean they boil it, some stomp on it.

[02:33]Guest: Yeah...

[02:34]Host: I mean some, many villages... I mean we went to one in the village of Alindor actually...

[02:38]Guest: There are, there are, until now there are.

[02:40]Host: It was good day we went to Alindor village, they saw it.

[02:41]Guest: There are, there are.

[02:42]Host: There are many villages too, actually.

[02:43]Guest: We used to go to Dîdan... Dîdan was destroyed before us, it went there.

[02:46]Host: Where is this place?

[02:47]Guest: Dîdan, it falls east of Azaz, the Turkish border.

[02:51]Host: Is it a village?

[02:52]Guest: It's a village, a village. That was the place of molasses, six or seven presses, Afrin region... approximately the good molasses and good grapes came from there.

[02:59]Host: And after this situation happened, then they became comfortable.

[03:02]Guest: We looked, we are grateful to our elders.

[03:04]Guest: And man made it for himself, and friends come, neighbors come, brothers from the village come, so everyone passes through here.

[03:12]Host: Now is this press only yours?

[03:14]Guest: Yes, it is only mine.

[03:16]Host: Ah, and does the whole village bring their grapes to you?

[03:18]Guest: In the village... in the village no one has grapes in our village.

[03:21]Host: Your villagers don't have grapes?

[03:22]Guest: Our villagers don't have grapes... there are, like, five vines, a hundred vines, empty really.

[03:27]Host: So from which villages do they come to you?

[03:28]Guest: They come from every village... they come for example starting from Bêrgan, Dêrs...

[03:32]Host: Dêr Siwan?

[03:33]Guest: Yes inside the mountains... they come from Şehba...

[03:35]Host: Yes time... exactly like that...

[03:37]Host: I mean don't those villages have presses?

[03:39]Host: No, like Bêrgan, I know they have presses too.

[03:41]Guest: No, the one in Bêrgan doesn't exist.

[03:42]Host: Doesn't exist?

[03:43]Guest: Doesn't exist, no.

[03:44]Host: Which villages have them?

[03:46]Guest: Well they say there is one in Qestel, one in Kuder, I don't know exactly, but that's what they say.

[03:52]Host: Those presses haven't remained there?

[03:54]Guest: Those old presses, the ones they made from rocks, haven't remained...

[03:58]Guest: What is now, like someone makes this with cement and wood, basin, wood, like someone like this... it is like this.

[04:05]Host: Now which grape becomes molasses?

[04:08]Guest: The old Dukulgan grape, its molasses is thick, it is dense.

[04:14]Guest: Yeah... that one becomes dense. It becomes dark.

[04:18]Host: Which one?

[04:19]Guest: The Zahlawi, it becomes amber.

[04:21]Guest: The French one, this one needs a lot of boiling, that one also turns later, no matter how much you boil it, it depends on its nature, the French one.

[04:29]Guest: The good molasses, I (say) is the old Dukulgan.

[04:33]Host: Is the village molasses good?

[04:35]Guest: That one, its taste, they make all of them into molasses.

[04:37]Guest: That one, that one since the past they say it is for molasses.

[04:40]Host: Black molasses.

[04:40]Guest: But now what we do, the Zahlawi, the French, people say it doesn't sell, all of it becomes molasses.

[04:46]Guest: That one, the difference in color is a bit darker.

[04:48]Host: You know before, they used to stomp with feet, do some also use bags?

[04:52]Guest: Yes they use bags too.

[04:53]Host: That is a very human thing...

[04:55]Guest: Wait... okay for the villagers that couldn't be pressed, they put in bags and stomped on it.

[05:00]Guest: And those who stomped, in shoes, it's not clean.

[05:02]Guest: There are the villagers' fingernails which are dirty maybe, there are those with long nails... it's not clean.

[05:07]Guest: But this now look, we did it like this, meaning boots for footwear, gloves on the villagers' hands...

[05:13]Guest: I mean it is clean, pure. Because this is molasses, people eat it, the nation eats it.

[05:18]Host: So now how many hours a day does it work?

[05:20]Guest: Well, in the morning at eight o'clock we work, depending on the crowd, depending on the grapes.

[05:26]Guest: Sometimes until eight, sometimes until late.

[05:29]Guest: Sometimes it finishes in the afternoon.

[05:31]Host: You reminded me... when I was a child... the day I went for a nap...

[05:35]Host: There was one near the village... one didn't know until morning remained...

[05:39]Guest: They stayed for weeks, for weeks. They stayed for weeks at the press.

[05:43]Guest: But not now, every day they go put their grapes, take them to this press...

[05:48]Guest: And when whose turn it was, they went and made it.

[05:51]Host: And the pleasantness, you know what was best in it? The village helped each other.

[05:56]Host: When someone put down grapes, that village also came to help, they made that molasses.

[06:01]Guest: They helped each other.

[06:02]Guest: Because we were small, my father... there were no vineyards around here...

[06:07]Guest: With sacks, with donkeys we pulled to this press, we had a small one here, in the corner of the alley...

[06:12]Guest: With donkeys, with sacks we put it, emptied it, pressed it, for weeks we would... constantly... press it enough... make it into molasses.

[06:19]Host: Was there difficulty?

[06:20]Guest: It is difficult, it was very difficult. This now is fast.

[06:22]Guest: The means of living are plentiful in the area. By God's permission... it becomes a blessing, becomes molasses and falls into tins, the face of the harvest.

[06:31]Host: Now in the press, there should be women too, right? I see there are no women.

[06:35]Guest: No women are forbidden here.

[06:37]Host: Women can't do the work?

[06:38]Guest: There is no heavy work.

[06:39]Host: It has all become for men?

[06:40]Guest: It has all become men's business now.

[06:45]Host: And in this place do they also boil it?

[06:47]Guest: From here it falls into the crushing floor, here it falls into the basin.

[06:51]Guest: Here it comes up...

[06:53]Guest: From up there it's the side of separating.

[06:56]Guest: From there it separated, it becomes clear.

[06:58]Guest: After clarifying, it's the middle of molasses, on the other side it boils in three places.

[07:04]Host: How long does it take, until it boils?

[07:07]Guest: Well approximately it takes about two and a half hours, three hours it takes.

[07:11]Host: Until it boils? It becomes thick.

[07:13]Guest: Until it becomes molasses, it takes approximately three hours.

[07:16]Host: It takes three hours.

[07:18]Host: Is the fire constantly lit?

[07:19]Guest: It is always a big fire.

[07:20]Guest: The things we do...

[07:25]Guest: After it becomes molasses, we empty it into these coolers.

[07:29]Guest: So that it becomes cold.

[07:31]Guest: After it becomes cold, we put it in tins.

[07:34]Guest: Because if it goes into the tin hot, it expands, it rusts, the taste of the molasses goes bad.

[07:39]Host: And whoever the owner is takes it?

[07:41]Guest: Yes the owner from the village, whoever it is for example, come puts a mark on the tin, for example...

[07:46]Guest: This is your property, this is so-and-so's, this is so-and-so's, everyone takes their property.

[07:50]Host: Now what is the molasses price, is it cheap?

[07:53]Guest: Well brother currently now, I sell with a difference of six and a half. Meaning someone has a tin, three tins, sells for six and a half.

[08:00]Host: A tin? Six thousand five hundred?

[08:02]Guest: Yes, six thousand five hundred.

[08:03]Host: And how much is in it?

[08:04]Guest: Twelve kilos.

[08:05]Host: Twelve?

[08:06]Guest: Yes.

[08:06]Host: Well brother, also a bit of allowance for the traders, so they can also benefit, they also...

[08:11]Guest: May your home be prosperous.

[08:12]Host: May your head be healthy.
