Full description
We are all good at recognising good coffee (maybe) , but how many really know how to recognise a gold medal olive oil?
Join this olive oil mill tour with tasting of Apulian EVO oil in Molfetta, near Bari. Guided by a master oil maker, you will explore the secrets of pressing and learn the professional tasting technique so you will never be fooled again.
A 1-hour experience to become a real liquid gold detective!
What we will do
The appointment is at the appointed time at the meeting point in Molfetta (BA) . On arrival we will be welcomed with a coffee to get acquainted with the guide.
Immediately afterwards we will meet the olive miller, as well as the master oil miller who controls every single stage of the production chain. Together with him we will start the tour in the external part of the facility, where the fresh olives just arrived from the field are stored and where the very first processing phase to obtain the olive paste takes place.
We will then move inside to explore the warehouses and the storage room, a real controlled-atmosphere vault where the oil is stored in silos immediately after pressing and filtering with cellulose to avoid oxidation and maintain constant quality. During this tour, the values and history of this family of producers will be revealed to us.
At the end of the visit, we will move to the indoor tasting room or to the outdoor area among the olive trees, depending on the current season. Here we will test our senses with a real professional technical tasting session.
We will learn to distinguish a product of excellence by testing 2 monocultivar EVO oils extracted from the area's main native varieties: Coratina and Ogliarola barese. It will be fun to discover the distinct differences in aroma, spiciness and bitterness that characterise these two very different cultivars.
The activity will end after about 1 hour in total.
