Olive oil tasting

For a millenia, the olive tree has been the symbols of the Val d'Orcia, one of the most beautiful territories in the world. Its history is inextricably linked to our traditions - so much so that is has become a fundamental part of daily life. There is no cooking without olive oil. 

During the tasting you will learn the fundamental steps necessary for a correct tasting of extra oil - according to the official IOC (International Olive Council) method - and to recognize the aromas and flavors of the different cultivars. You will learn to read labels and orient yourself in choosing the best product during everday life. 

Different single-varietal extra virgin olive oils will be offered in combination with food tastings specially prepared by our chef so as to enahnce the qualities of this important food.
