Experience recommended by SalentoBike
Olive oil tasting in Lecce's old town, near Santa Croce
An hour with an expert taster: three extra virgin oils, bread, taralli and a light aperitivo.
What you do
In Salento olive oil is on every table, but tasting it properly is something else. Here an expert taster guides you through three extra virgin oils and shows you what sets them apart.
You taste with bread, taralli and water, and finish with a light aperitivo, sweet or savoury. Groups are ten people at most, in Lecce's historic centre, close to Santa Croce.
It lasts an hour. It's an experience recommended by SalentoBike: I book it for you and add it to your quote.
By bike
It runs daily between 5pm and 7pm, which is exactly when you roll back from a day on the bike. Ride my self-guided route, with GPX and roadbook, return the bike for free at Via Ribezzo 2D in Lecce and stop in the old town for the oil.
If you've rented for several days, lock the bike with the lock included while you taste. And an oil aperitivo works just as well at the end of a day on foot.
