A moment that makes your trip unforgettable

Taking part in an extra virgin olive oil tasting in Tuscany means experiencing the region in an authentic way, going beyond clichés, and connecting with those who preserve its agricultural heritage.

But what are the main organoleptic characteristics of Tuscan extra virgin olive oil?

• Aroma: intense herbaceous notes with hints of artichoke, fresh grass, almond, and sometimes green tomato or olive leaf.
• Taste: a bold, complex flavor, typically bitter and spicy—two indicators of freshness and a high polyphenol content.
• Color: ranging from bright green to golden yellow, often with vivid reflections in the freshest oils.
• Structure: good aromatic persistence, with smooth and full sensations on the palate.
• Balance: harmony between fruitiness, bitterness, and spiciness, with a lively character that distinguishes Tuscan oils from those of other Italian regions.

This is an experience that enriches your journey, offers new sensations, and leaves you with lasting memories—as only Tuscany can.
