What we will do
We’ll meet at the meeting point in Greve in Chianti, in the province of Florence, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, with its rolling hills, olive groves and vineyards that reflect a unique culinary tradition . We will be welcomed by a guide ready to introduce us to the world of extra virgin olive oil and its main characteristics, preparing us for the tasting and the food pairings that follow.
We’ll start with a guided tasting of three EVO oils, discovering different aromas and nuances and the reasoning behind the pairings designed to complement the dishes on the menu. The guide will take us step by step through the sensory analysis, teaching us professional tasting techniques.
The experience will continue with a cocktail made with ingredients from the farm, such as saffron, iris or olive oil: a toast that will introduce us to some decidedly surprising and unusual pairings!
We will then sit down for a light lunch, consisting of a two-course menu and dessert, each course paired with a specific oil to bring out its aromas and contrasts. During the meal, we will also enjoy a glass of the farm’s Chianti Classico wine.
The experience will last approximately one and a half hours.
