Olive Oil Tasting

Set within the serene grounds of Casa Aloni, this immersive olive oil tasting workshop elevates olive oil beyond a simple ingredient, revealing it as a cornerstone of health, culture, and Mediterranean wisdom. Designed by Kaiti and Labros for wellness-oriented travelers, the experience unfolds as a guided professional tasting, where guests learn to recognize the purity, freshness, and superior quality of olive oil through its aroma, texture, and flavor. During the session, you will gain the ability to distinguish authentic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) from lower-quality oils, while sampling a selection of exceptional varieties, including rare and distinctive expressions. Alongside the tasting, Labros introduces the science behind extra virgin olive oil, exploring its role in longevity, heart health, and holistic living. His storytelling, rooted in land, tradition, and Mediterranean daily life, adds depth and authenticity to the experience. The workshop concludes with a selection of seasonal dishes, thoughtfully prepared by Kaiti to highlight olives and olive oil at the heart of Mediterranean cuisine.
