Description

Good to Know

Oil tasting is a journey into the world of Apulian olive growing that allows you to learn about the characteristics, qualities and combinations of some of the most well-known monovarietal oils in the region. It is also an opportunity to learn to recognize quality oils, production techniques and local cultivars. It will be possible not only to understand the difference in taste between the different oils, but also to understand how to combine them.

Sensory analysis of 7 types of extra virgin oils from Puglia

It is a sensorial journey to discover Apulian extra virgin oils. The experience offers the tasting of seven types of extra virgin olive oil. The first is a cold-extracted multivarietal which is the perfect synthesis of Apulian extra virgin olive oil: fragrant, slightly bitter and spicy, ideal for any type of use. The sensorial journey involves the tasting of different monovarietal oils, produced from a single type of olive: 1- Coratina: a bitter and spicy oil, with hints of artichoke, rich in polyphenols, considered among the best in the country. 2- Picholine, an oil with similar characteristics to Coratina, but with unique elegance and scents. 3- Peranzana with its hints of green tomato, apple and banana. During the tasting, information will be provided on the history of Apulian olive growing, on harvesting and production techniques and there will be advice on the use of the different types of oil in cooking

Convenient and educational olive oil tasting

We are staying in downtown Monopoli in the square and wanted to do an olive oil tasting. This was a very close location at a local shop, and had received good reviews. Mary was very informative and friendly, and we tasted not only their olive oils, but several spreads (olive, sundried tomato, artichoke) and toppings (eggplant, onion) on bread, small glass of red wine, and prickly pear creme liqueur. They do sell all of these products in their store, so obviously a win-win for everyone as we boug...read more

Great experience.

A very knowledgable guide. Discussed about and offered tastings of 7 oils and local products. We did right before a cooking class and enhanced our class. Highly recommend.

The host was very friendly and after we purchased a couple of oils she gave us a free one too. 20 minutes is the perfect amount of time and it cost less than £9 per person. The venue is made up of three shops so a...read more

Great Experience

Presentation was done by knowledgable, friendly woman with a very organized presentation. She had no trouble communicating to us in English. We learned more than we had anticipated. We highly recommend this presentation on olive trees and olive oil. It was an absolute pleasure to meet her and learn so much.
