OLIVE OIL

In the Mediterranean diet olive oil is an all purpose grease that is used not only for the preparation of savory dishes but also for desserts. Because of its repeatedly proven importance for a healthy diet, in recent years it has increasingly conquered foreign markets. To many consumers, however, the criteria for high-quality olive oil are as unknown as its proper storage and use in cooking.

Guided by a professional olive oil taster ( COI method), member of the olive oil panel of Slow Food (Lucca) you will learn in an entertaining way about the fascinating world of olive oil.

The following topics are on the program:

About history: the cultivation of olives in the Meditteranean area
The production of olive oil: traditional and modern procedures
What the label tells us - and what not
