What to expect

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
