We invite you to a unique evening dedicated to one of the most important gems of Mediterranean cuisine – olive oil. During workshops led by certified olive oil sommeliers, you will discover how to consciously taste olive oil, recognize its aromas and flavors, and understand what makes each one have its unique character.
The meeting will be led by Magda and Tomek from OLIO-E – certified Olive Oil Sommeliers and distributors of artisanal Tuscan olive oils from local, family producers. Driven by a passion for conscious nutrition and quality right from the source, they demonstrate that excellent olive oil is much more than a dish ingredient – it is the foundation of healthy cuisine, rich in natural health-promoting properties and antioxidants.
During the workshop, you will discover the world of olive oil with all your senses:
You will learn the entire production process – from harvest time to the moment it reaches your table, and you will once and for all dispel the most popular myths.
You will learn to recognize fresh, high-polyphenol olive oil, distinguish it from industrial products, and assess its unique characteristics: from intense fruitiness to pleasant bitterness and pungency, which testify to its highest quality.
You will go through a tasting of 6 carefully selected extra virgin olive oils originating from different olive varieties and regions.
You will discover the secrets of food pairing – the tasting will be accompanied by Italian antipasti and practical tips on how to skilfully match olive oil to everyday dishes and how it can transform their character.
This is an evening for everyone who values authentic flavors, wants to consciously choose what’s on their plate, and experience firsthand how much difference truly good olive oil makes — without hurry, in a pleasant atmosphere, and around a shared table.
