Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Tasting Night - Exploring the Nuances of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Varieties

Alice Massaria, expert oil taster, will take the participants through a journey discovering how similar wine and evoo worlds truly are. Exactly like wine, each olive variety is native to a specific area and retains a specific flavour profile different from the others.

We will learn everything from production methods to major regions and cultivars (this is how olive varieties are called) to flavour profiles. 

During the evening, you will be tasting Extra-Virgin Olive Oil from different regions and paired with delectable snacks.
