Lucanian Organic EVO Oil Bar - Biol Italia

At the Gezziamociplus oil bar, you can smell and taste Lucanian extra virgin olive oils produced using organic farming methods. The Association of Organic Producers BIOL ITALIA will set up the Lucanian EVO Oil Bar, a space dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of organic extra virgin olive oil from Basilicata. Led by Panel Leaders and professional tasters, you can taste Lucanian extra virgin olive oils produced using organic farming methods, learning to recognize the organoleptic characteristics and distinctive features of a certified quality product. You will also have the opportunity to learn more about the nutritional properties of organic EVO oil and understand its fundamental role in the Mediterranean diet. During the event, you will have the opportunity to meet some of the Lucanian producers associated with BIOL Italia, who will be available to answer questions and share their experiences producing excellent organic EVOOs. Representatives of the Associazione Amanti dell'Olio EVO – APS (Lovers of Olive Oil EVO Association – APS) will also be present. The association promotes the culture of the olive tree as a cultural, landscape, and regional identity asset, highlighting the quality of extra virgin olive oil, particularly that obtained from native varieties. The "Oil Bar" is organized by BIOL Italia as part of the SRG10 Regional Project, aimed at promoting and providing information on quality agri-food products. The goal is to raise awareness of Lucanian organic extra virgin olive oil and the regional olive growing heritage. We recommend tasting a small amount of oil first by smelling it and then by tasting it in your mouth. Use only oil, without any bread or other ingredients. This way, you'll be able to recognize the three positive qualities of EVO oil: fruity on the nose, spicy, and bitter on the palate. Organic EVO oil is obtained exclusively from mechanical pressing of olives grown according to organic farming principles, meaning without the use of chemicals.
