An olive oil tasting that's more than just a sample: The 'Olive Oil Experience' by 8:26 Histories Charilaos Gounaras takes you on an elegant, two-hour journey into the heart of Greek culture. No prior knowledge needed, you'll dive into the world of extra virgin olive oil and discover the diverse flavors of the best Greek producers.

The event kicks off with a quick rundown on the history of olive oil, the different types of olives, and what makes olive oil tick. Then, get ready for a guided tasting where you'll explore the nuances of various varieties and neutralize your palate with some apple slices. Afterwards, you'll dive into a food pairing experience with bread and selected finger foods, and see how olive oil perfectly complements the dishes. Vegetarian and vegan options always make sure everyone can enjoy the experience.

The goal is to teach you the criteria for a high-quality olive oil in a fun and educational way. By the end, you'll not only have a new appreciation for Mediterranean cuisine, but also the know-how to spot and choose an authentic, high-quality olive oil.

Charilaos Gounaras is looking forward to your visit at the Wagnerdrei studio in Munich's Schwabing.
