    A simple, engaging and professional sensory experience designed for those who want to learn how to recognise the quality of an extra virgin olive oil, even without any previous experience.

    WHAT YOU WILL DO

    • Freshly made homemade bread, served with unheated extra virgin olive oil
    • Artisan olives in the Apulian tradition
