Olive oil tasting class in Miggiano
Two hours to learn how to taste olive oil properly.
What you do
Olive oil is everywhere in Salento, yet few people really know how to taste it. This tasting class in Miggiano is all about that: you sit down, pour, smell and taste with a method.
The person leading the class teaches you to pick up aromas and flavours and to understand what sets one oil apart from another. Afterwards you will never look at a bottle in a shop or restaurant the same way.
The class lasts two hours and runs Monday to Friday. It is a quiet experience that stays with you more than you might expect.
By bike
Two hours sitting down make the ideal break in the middle of a bike day. I prepare a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook that passes through Miggiano: you ride, stop for the class and set off again at an easy pace.
The bike waits outside, locked with the lock that comes with it. Pick-up is free in Lecce, San Foca or Calimera, or I can deliver to your address for a surcharge based on distance. And if you prefer, you can take the class on a day without the bike.
