Introduction to Olive Oil: Sensory Evaluation for consumers
Please join us in this fun and informative Extra Virgin Olive Oil tasting where you will learn how to appreciate quality and the different styles and cultivars.
More than seven different Extra Virgin Olive Oils from Italy, California and Spain will be tasted.
You will learn to describe the aromas and pungency of high quality EVOO and differentiate quality from faulty supermarket oils. We will also experiment matching EVOO with a few cold tapas to taste the magic combination of food and EVOO.

6-6.30pm - Check in - Classical Guitar recital in our garden (Spanish and Italian classic pieces)
6.30- Two Olive Oil producers (Italy and California) will present their EVOOs.
