Convenient and educational olive oil tasting
We are staying in downtown Monopoli in the square and wanted to do an olive oil tasting. This was a very close location at a local shop, and had received good reviews. Mary was very informative and friendly, and we tasted not only their olive oils, but several spreads (olive, sundried tomato, artichoke) and toppings (eggplant, onion) on bread, small glass of red wine, and prickly pear creme liqueur. They do sell all of these products in their store, so obviously a win-win for everyone as we bought several items to take home, but we enjoyed it all, and price was very affordable. Would highly recommend:)

Great experience.
A very knowledgable guide. Discussed about and offered tastings of 7 oils and local products. We did right before a cooking class and enhanced our class. Highly recommend.

Olive oil tasting - an enjoyable 20 minutes!
What a great 20 minutes! Tasted six different olive oils - had never done this before and didn’t know it was even a ‘thing’! We were taught how to understand what great olive oil tastes like. In addition we were given breads with local savoury and jams which came as an added surprise. The host was very friendly and after we purchased a couple of oils she gave us a free one too. 20 minutes is the perfect amount of time and it cost less than £9 per person.
The venue is made up of three shops so as well as oil you can buy wine, ceramics and gifts. Definitely worth a visit.

Great Experience
Presentation was done by knowledgable, friendly woman with a very organized presentation. She had no trouble communicating to us in English. We learned more than we had anticipated. We highly recommend this presentation on olive trees and olive oil. It was an absolute pleasure to meet her and learn so much.

A flavourful journey
We had an amazing time at the oil tasting tour, sampling all sorts of oils that showcased a wonderful variety of flavors and aromas. Each tasting was a delightful journey through different regions and styles, opening our eyes to the subtle complexities of olive oils. Antonella wrapped up the experience with a surprise that truly made the visit unforgettable. If you’re a fan of culinary adventures or just curious about olive oil, this tour is definitely worth the visit!
