A sensory journey:
Using a selection of five virgin olive oils, we will explore:
• The difference between a green fruity oil and a black fruity oil
• The influence of terroir and variety
• Vegetal, floral, or more mature aromas
• The sensation of bitterness and a slight pungency on the finish

You will discover and learn to identify the vegetal notes, the aromas of artichoke, almond, and fresh herbs, and to appreciate the balance between sweetness, bitterness, and a slight pungency.
This is an accessible, lively, and interactive introduction where you will learn how an olive oil can reveal its origins.
The oils offered are:
• Fruity Green from Provence
