What to expect

Greece is one of the oldest olive-growing regions in the world. Welcome to the region of Halkidiki, home to the world-famous green Halkidiki olives and the great philosopher Aristotle. The village of Metaggitsi on Sithonia is known throughout the region as the "olive oil village" of Halkidiki! For generations, the village has cultivated the local "Galani" olive variety, from which 90% of the olive oil is produced. You will become a professional olive oil taster. You will learn about high-quality olive oil and the olives from the region. All your questions about olive oil will be answered. Because not all olive oils are created equal, or of high quality. You will learn and experience this and much more in the tasting seminar. Duration: 2 hours. Location: Behind the farm shop, in the middle of the small olive grove, weather permitting. Water, bread, and cold traditional snacks will be provided for participants. After the seminar, you will receive a certificate of participation and brochure.
