Olio Nuovo – The New Harvest
Taste the new olive harvest at its freshest.
Olio Nuovo is the first extra virgin olive oil of the new season: vibrant, aromatic and intensely expressive. This seasonal Olive Love tasting is an opportunity to experience freshly produced oils from different Mediterranean origins and compare how cultivar, terroir and harvest conditions shape their character.
The Tasting
We will taste six freshly harvested extra virgin olive oils from:
Greece ×2 · Croatia ×1 · Italy ×1 · Turkey ×1 · Spain ×1
The tasting is guided and comparative, allowing you to experience different aromatic profiles, intensities and styles side by side.
What You’ll Learn
- How to taste olive oil using the basic principles of professional sensory evaluation
- How to recognise freshness and quality
- The meaning of fruitiness, bitterness and pungency
- How olive variety, terroir and harvest timing influence flavour
- What makes newly harvested olive oil particularly distinctive
- How to store olive oil correctly and preserve its quality
You do not need to have attended the Olive Oil Masterclass. We will briefly review the essential principles of olive oil tasting at the beginning of the evening.
The Experience
After the sensory tasting, we will explore the oils with carefully selected food pairings designed to highlight their different personalities.
Fresh bread, mineral water and a glass of sparkling wine are included.
