VAlorising extra virgin olive oil
Olive oil tasting courses and seminars - the pleasure of understanding olive oil
What better occasion to promote extra virgin olive oil than during an engaging meeting in those places where quality food and drinks are at home?
An event during which you can learn without feeling at school, taste excellent olive oil and put into practice what you've just learned in the most pleasurable way.
For whom this event is meant
Our tasting seminars are dedicated to adults and young people who are interested in quality food and drink and in particular to those who would like to get to know extravirgin olive oil.
No previous knowledge is required. However, in order to be able to taste olive oil in perfect conditions, it is necessary to avoid smoking and drinking coffee before the seminar, and wearing perfumes which would distract from the perception of the oil's own perfumes not only the wearer, but also those sitting next to him.
structure of the event
The event takes place during 2-3 hours and is structured in two moments:
- seminar on extra virgin olive oil to unveil its secrets: understand how it is produced, what are its characteristics and how to taste olive oil;
- tasting of one or more extra virgin quality olive oils.
Both moments will be conducted by Massimo Epifani.
Themes covered during the seminar
-
Sensorial characteristics of extra virgin olive oil;

Suggested number of participants
For better "learning" conditions, it is suggest that the number of participants do not exceed 20 people.
What will the participants receive
