Greve in Chianti: Guided tour and food tasting to discover extra virgin olive oil｜Italy

Do you want to discover the secrets of extra virgin olive oil and learn how to truly recognize quality? We look forward to seeing you at the oil mill in Greve in Chianti for a guided experience among the machinery and aromas, designed to help you understand what makes a true premium EVO oil.

The experience begins with a welcome in a state-of-the-art oil mill. Accompanied by the staff, you will follow the main production phases: from the olive to the oil, through the processes and controls that determine freshness, aromas, and sensory characteristics. A clear and engaging journey to see up close "how a quality oil is made".

Then comes the most fun part: the Palate Challenge. Challenge your taste and smell with a guided tasting of 3 oils, comparing different qualities and origins. You will learn to recognize strengths and weaknesses, to read the aromas (fruity, herbaceous notes, almond, artichoke), and to understand what to look for when you want to buy an authentic extra-virgin olive oil.

To close, there's nothing better than a fettunta: bread and "good" oil to fix the flavors and sensations in your memory and give you a simple and genuine souvenir of Chianti. An interesting, practical, and tasty experience, perfect for those who love Italian cuisine and want to learn more about one of its most precious ingredients.
