Olive Oil Tasting Experience in Mykonos
Olive oil has been the cornerstone of Greek culture and cuisine since ancient times. Homer famously described it as “Liquid Gold”, while Hippocrates called it the “Great Healer”. Today, it is recognized as one of the healthiest fats on earth, rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, forming the foundation of the Mediterranean Diet.

During this unique experience, you will learn how to properly smell and taste olive oil, unlocking the complex aromas and flavors of some of the finest Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOO).

Led by expert olive oil taster Anita Zachou, this interactive session will help you understand the true meaning of “extra virgin” quality. You will learn how to describe olive oil using professional tasting terms such as “fruity”, “bitter”, and “spicy”, while also discovering how to identify high-quality olive oil and recognize defects.

This experience also introduces you to the philosophy of the Mediterranean lifestyle and the many health and beauty benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil — a natural product that can enhance your daily life.

Perfect for couples, families, and groups of friends, this is a must-do activity for anyone who wants to explore authentic Greek gastronomy in a fun and educational way.

This activity is led by Anita Zachou, agricultural engineer, certified olive oil expert taster by Jaén University (Spain), holistic wellness coach, and founder of Mykonos Olive Oil Tasting.
