Corinth – The Art of Greek Oil
EX-333
Group excursion
1 h 0 min
Reservations required at least 7 days in advance
An immersive experience among olive trees, aromas, and tradition in the Corinth region. On a farm surrounded by olive groves, you'll discover the entire process that transforms a fruit into one of Greece's most precious symbols: extra virgin olive oil.
The visit begins with a stroll among the olive trees, where the cultivated varieties and harvesting methods are explained. The tour continues with a guided tour of the modern oil mill, where you can witness the extraction process and understand the different quality categories of oil and the secrets to preserving its freshness and nutritional value.
This is followed by a guided tasting, conducted like a true "oil sommelier": two different oils are tasted in professional tasting glasses, to learn to recognize the aromas, fruity notes, and spicy or bitter sensations that define a true extra virgin olive oil.
The experience ends with a mini food tasting of fresh bread, olives, olive spread, and a local salad, allowing you to appreciate the oil in its natural setting.
A surprising experience awaits guests using VR (virtual reality) headsets: a short immersive journey into the world of olive oil, from plant to table, to understand the cultural and health value of a product with a high polyphenol content, a true ally of well-being.
The activity is conducted in English, or in Italian if included in the exclusive Grecia365 tours (MiniVan, MotoTour or Trekking), accompanied and translated by our Grecia365 guide.
