You’ll join an extra virgin olive oil tasting that guides you on a sensory journey to discover the “liquid gold”. After a short introduction to its history and cultural legacy in Italian gastronomy, you’ll taste and learn to recognise different oils and how they influence flavour. Along the way, you’ll explore how extra virgin olive oil can be used both raw and cooked, and the art of combining it with dishes. You’ll also receive practical information to help you get the best from each oil.
As you move through the experience, the hosts will explain their production philosophy, centred on a low‑impact oxidative system that respects each cultivar’s integrity and ensures traceability. This part of the visit will help you understand how production choices affect taste and quality, so you can make informed decisions when buying or using olive oil at home.
