Discover a whole new world of olive oils through tasting workshops

Introduction

With the rise of the popularity of olive oil, there has been a surge of interest in learning more about this versatile ingredient. But while there are many resources available online (including this one), they often fail to capture the true essence of olive oils—their aromas and taste profiles. This is where we come in. We want to help you learn more about some of the most popular types of olive oil through our unique tasting workshops!

Through a series of tastings by a qualified olive oil sommelier who will walk class participants through the different types of olive oils and assist them to better appreciate the aromas and tastes of these oils. In this way, participants can gain a deeper understanding of how olive oil is made, what kinds of flavors are available, and how to do better olive oil pairings with food.

Olive Oil Tasting Workshops

Olive oil tasting workshops are a great way to try different olive oils in a short sitting, learn about their health benefits, and enjoy an afternoon with friends. During a typical olive oil tasting workshop, you'll be able to sample a few different types of olive oils. You'll learn how every oil's aroma and taste profile in different ways, depending on the variety and where it's grown.

Olive Oil Food Pairings

When tasting the olive oil you may be wondering, "How am I supposed to know what to pair this oil with?" Don't worry—we've got you covered. We'll walk you through some delicious recipes that use olive oil as an ingredient and tell you how they taste together. For instance, an Olivo Tuscan Estate extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) goes well with tofu and tender salad greens with its light green herb notes, peppery finish, and creaminess. On the other hand, the deep intense flavour of the Koroneiki Estate olive oil pairs well with grilled seafood & meat without overpowering other ingredients like herbs or spices.

Olive Oil Parties

Taking a leaf from the olive oil workshops have attended, you could organize olive oil sessions or parties as a great way to learn about and share your newfound knowledge and pleasures of olive oils. They're also a great excuse to gather friends and family, have fun together, and make some tasty food while you're at it!

The best olive oils are found in smaller batches, made by small-scale producers who take the time, care, and attention to create a superior product.

When it comes to olive oil, it can feel overwhelming to know which producer and bottling to choose. The best olive oils are found in smaller batches, made by small-scale producers who take the time, care, and attention to create a superior product.

The reason for this is that traditional methods of production have been proven over generations to produce a better-tasting product than machines or industrial processes. This means that when you buy a bottle of artisanally produced extra virgin olive oil you will notice an improvement in flavour – one that is richer and more complex with a better balance of notes – as well as health benefits from less processing.
