Meet in central Lecce and head to a local bistrot. Learn about olive oil production, sample different oils with regional cheeses, and enjoy a glass of wine.

Taste several different varieties, each paired with locally made cheese. Complement your tasting with a glass of wine. Ask the staff as many questions as you like.

Tasting olive oil in an enoteca involves a guided experience to evaluate its quality through sight, smell, and taste, similar to wine tasting
The process includes learning about different olive varieties and production methods, with cheese pairings and can be a full sensory journey.
You can expect to learn to identify aromas, flavors like bitterness and pungency, and the “warm feeling” in the throat from quality oils.
Understanding quality: You will learn what to look for in a high-quality extra virgin olive oil, and that bitterness is a sign of freshness, not rancidity.
Professional guidance: Highly qualified staff guide you through the process, providing context and expertise.
