Program details

Discover the delightful world of olive oil in this fun and relaxed oil tasting session. Taste an exclusive selection of Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oils as an expert explains the characteristics and surprisingly different aromas, colours and flavours of this marvellous golden green liquid.

You’ll see how the olive oil is warmed slightly to bring out its fragrance and taste and we’ll help you to find the words to describe the right terms to describe the incredible sensations. Learn to taste blind like an expert, eating a piece of apple between oils to clear your palate.

Some of these extra virgin olive oils are extracted from a single variety of olive, some are a blend of varieties, some are organic and others have a protected designation of origin – and they are all unique. You will see how you can use different oils for savoury and sweet dishes and after the tasting you will know how to choose the one you want to cook with, which one goes better on your salad… and which one is definitely your favourite! The tasting includes a glass of wine and some traditional Spanish tapas, and you will also be able to purchase some oil afterwards to take home with you.
