Extra Virgin Olive Oil: a mini course with tastings
3 h
About this activity
Nicola is an experienced, professional olive oil sommelier and produces his olive oil on the hills between La Spezia and Cinque Terre.
He will guide you through the experience of smelling, tasting and eating olive oil on a variety of “bruschetta” to understand which oil goes on which food and with which wine (Nicola is also a wine tester).
You will learn the basic steps to recognize a “good” olive oil from a “standard” one and how to buy a good olive oil when you go back to your country.
All this made in a typical Ligurian country house surrounded by a peaceful terraced olive grove, situated in the splendid Poets’ Bay, next to the Cinque Terre.
You will be picked up and dropped off at the railway station of La Spezia, this courtesy service is included.
