What you can expect

Join a curated olive oil tasting experience in a stone venue in Rome, offering an authentic and immersive environment. Begin with an introduction to Lazio's olive growing history, highlighting the region's diverse terroirs—from the volcanic soils of Tuscia to the rolling hills of Sabina.

Learn professional tasting techniques employed by olive oil sommeliers, including warming the glass to release polyphenols and the “strippaggio” method to nebulize the oil onto the palate for a full sensory experience.

Sample four DOP oils from local producers: Sabina DOP, Tuscia DOP, Canino DOP, and Colline Pontine DOP (cultivar Itrana), each exhibiting unique organoleptic properties. Each oil is paired with artisanal bread made through natural leavening, enhancing the tasting experience.

The session concludes with a glass of Frascati Superiore DOCG, completing this refined exploration of Lazio's exceptional olive oils.
