With this article I am pleased to announce the availability of a new ONLINE experience among those offered by Le strade del gusto, namely a guided sensory analysis of extra virgin olive oil with TASTING BOX. Let us remember that the olive tree, which gives us the wonderful products contained in the Box, is present quite uniformly throughout almost the entire regional territory, although some areas have proved particularly suited for olive growing: from Parteolla to Campidano where the tonda di Cagliari, the nera di Gonnos, the nera di Villacidro and the pizz’e carroga are particularly widespread; while in the Oristano area the semidana variety is mainly grown, in the Alghero area the most famous cultivar bosana reigns supreme; and finally in the province of Nuoro where the nera di Oliena variety dominates. Currently, the olive-growing area of Sardinia extends over more than 31,000 hectares. Through our experience we will focus on production from the Parteolla area and in particular from the town of Dolianova, deservedly recognized for some time as CITY OF OIL. The products contained in the BOX have been carefully selected from the wide range offered by the company Copar, Cooperative of Olive Growers of Parteolla, founded in December 1962 by a group of 31 citizens and olive growers from Dolianova, with the aim of improving the quality, productivity and marketability of a product already excellent by nature. The Tasting Box will contain the following products:
Here’s what you need to do the experience:
The Box can be purchased at the price of 26.50 euros + shipping costs (calculated each time based on the destination), by contacting the producing company directly at the email address info@oliocopar.it or at the phone number 070/741329 or by contacting Le strade del gusto at 347.00.65.805 or at the email address info@lestradedelgusto.com To the price of the Box will be added the cost of the guided sensory tasting of the 3 oils, conducted by an expert taster. The experience can be purchased in the SHOP section of the Le strade del gusto website. The experience will begin with a chat during which we will try to gauge your knowledge of the world of oil and your preferences and tastes. Then, with the support of educational material (which we will share with you on screen), we will teach you the basic rules of food-oil pairing and reveal some little secrets that will help you make the right choice of oil depending on its use (cooking, dressing, enhancing dishes). Then we will move on to the sensory analysis of the purchased products, which consists of 3 phases: visual, olfactory, and taste/olfactory. We will taste together the 3 oils from the box and focus on our sensory perceptions. At the end of this experience, we will have all the elements to be able to recognize a quality oil. The experience will take place in the comfortable and safe environment of your home or wherever you prefer. You won’t need to move to enjoy this experience. You can stay in your slippers and comfortably seated on your sofa.
