Guided tasting of Etna's extra virgin olive oil

Discover the world of Etna's extra virgin olive oil. You'll be guided through a technical tasting that unveils fragrances, aromas and centuries-old traditions. This experience is tailored for those keen to discern true quality and gain an intimate understanding of the efforts of small local producers.

You'll savour four distinct extra virgin oils, each derived from native cultivars flourishing on Etna's slopes. The volcano's mineral-rich soil imparts these oils with their own sensory characteristics. An expert guide will lead you through a comprehensive visual, olfactory and taste analysis, revealing the secrets of production and how to distinguish superior oil. To enhance your appreciation of every flavour nuance, bread and crostini will accompany the tasting.

Whether you're an enthusiast or simply curious, this experience offers an authentic journey through Mediterranean flavours, verdant nature and deeply-rooted traditions. It's not just about tasting olive oil; it's about immersively experiencing the culture and tradition that surrounds its production.
