EVO Oil Masterclass
Techniques, Perfumes and
Pairings
A guided experience lasting approximately 40 minutes, designed for those who want to discover the world of extra virgin olive oil from every angle.
It begins with a brief introduction to olive varieties and harvesting and processing techniques, to understand how quality oils are created.
Then we move on to the practical part: you’ll learn how a professional tasting is conducted, just like in a panel group. Three different oils will be tasted and analyzed, and you’ll be able to fill out the official sensory evaluation form to learn about the aromas, flavors, and organoleptic characteristics of each oil.
A unique opportunity to experience EVO Oil like a true expert, combining technique, taste, and culture.
🎁 You’ll receive a free professional blue glass, so you can replicate the tastings at home and continue discovering the secrets of EVO Oil even after the masterclass.
COOKING CLASS: LET'S GET OUR HANDS IN THE DOUGH
Umbrichelli: The Typical
Pasta
🌿 Simplicity becomes special: In this cooking class, you’ll learn how to make Umbrichelli, a simple dish made with just flour and water that delights the palate with a touch of extra virgin olive oil.
It will be a unique opportunity to get your hands dirty, slow down, and have fun in the kitchen, playing together while learning an ancient skill and a new recipe, amidst laughter, authentic aromas, and flavors. We’ll then top it with a simple combination of Pachino tomatoes, Taggiasca olives, and a drizzle of olive oil… how wonderful!
THE ATMOSPHERE
Montecchio: A Magical
Place
The tour would not be complete without a short visit to the village of Montecchio: a medieval village, perched on the Umbrian Apennines and immersed in hills dotted with olive trees, where time flows in unison with the rhythm of nature. The colors and flavors are authentic and inspire the genuine soul of the locals. Here you can find yourself and appreciate an authentic, primordial and uncontaminated serenity.
Duration approximately 30 minutes
WALK AMONG THE OLIVE TREES
Oliveto Il Pero:
Between Tradition and Innovation
A short walk to discover our Oliveto “Il Pero”, the place where our grandfather used to take us.
A wonderful 5-hectare plot that once housed a vineyard and has been home to our new olive grove since 2012. A semi-intensive system of 3 varieties of olives: Moraiolo, Nocellara, and Leccio del Corno trees.
A new-generation olive grove that allows for mechanized management and from which we obtain our monocultivar Extra Virgin.
We will walk immersed among the trees and all around a 360-degree view of the rolling Umbrian hills, a landscape that speaks of beauty and relaxation.
Let us accompany you to discover this suggestive place and let yourself be transported by the story of our family.
4Km – Difference in altitude 200m – Trekking shoes are recommended
YOGA AMONG THE OLIVE TREES
A Moment of
Relax in contact with Nature
🍃 Silence, slowness, balance – let yourself be lulled by the olive trees and immerse yourself in a yoga experience that regenerates body and mind, in an atmosphere reminiscent of nature and well-being.
The Olive Grove will be your unique, almost sacred, place to spend a moment of relaxation and reconnecting with yourself, in contact with this fascinating tree that in itself exudes peace and silence.
