In the heart of Provence, we invite you to enjoy a special moment with one of the iconic treasures of the Mediterranean: olive oil.

This workshop is above all a meeting, a discovery, and a time for sharing.
This experience will allow you to learn to taste like a professional.
For more than an hour, participants learn to taste, smell, understand, and above all fully appreciate the nuances of olive oil.
A sensory discovery:
Through a selection of five virgin olive oils, we explore:
• The difference between a green fruity and a black fruity
• The influence of the terroir and the variety
• Vegetal, floral, or more mature aromas
• The sensation of bitterness and a slight burning sensation at the end of the mouth

You will discover and learn to identify the vegetal notes, the aromas of artichoke, almond, fresh herbs... To feel the balance between sweetness, bitterness, and a slight heat.
This is an accessible, lively, and interactive introduction where you will discover how an oil can tell the story of its origin.
The oils offered are:
• Fruity green from Provence
• Fruity Black from Provence
• Provence Truffle Oil (depending on the season)
