Olive Oil Tasting at the Mykonian Farm
Overview
Olive oil has been an essential part of Greek cuisine and culture for thousands of years. Rich in antioxidants, beneficial fatty acids and vitamins, Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of the key ingredients of the Mediterranean Diet and remains deeply connected to the Greek way of life.
Your experience begins with a visit to the Mykonian Farm, where you will see the trees up close and learn about their cultivation and importance in Greek tradition.
You will then take part in a guided olive oil tasting led by our experienced olive oil taster. Using your senses of smell and taste, you will discover the aromas and flavours of selected Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oils and learn what the term “Extra Virgin” really means.
The experience also introduces you to the important role of olive oil in the Mediterranean Diet and its nutritional, health and beauty benefits. Informative, interactive and enjoyable, it is an ideal activity to share with family and friends.
