About this experience
Spend time and have fun learning with your very own olive oil sommelier! I'm in love with olive oil and I can't wait to share my passion with you! Let me guide you in the beautiful world of olive oil aromas and flavours, while having fun, understanding olive oil culture and connecting with an expert local! Let your senses guide you through different olive oil samples, sniff for the fruitiness and the aromas, taste the peppery and bitter notes and learn how to evaluate olive oil quality on your own. You will become an olive sommelier for a day, discussing the food pairings of olive oil and the many uses in the kitchen while you will learn about the health benefits of olive oil and the Mediterranean diet. At the end, we will have amazing memories together based on fun, knowledge and connection!
Could you ever imagine olive oil connecting people so much? yes!
