Festival del Gusto

There are many small and large olive oil producers who offer tours and tastings at their estates and farms throughout Italy. But apart from large olive oil schools which offer classes on tasting and horticulture for producers and professional buyers there are very few dedicated olive oil schools solely aimed at the general public and small trade buyers. Organisations such as  ASSAM  in Le Marche and other similar bodies throughout Italy hold courses, teaching classes, workshops and certification services, these all being essential for professional olive oil producers. One of the aims of the Festival del Gusto is to help bring organic and biodynamic producers in Italy together with interested members of the public and organisations who wish to hear more about these increasingly important methods of production of our food and wine. Another important aim we have is to set up and run olive oil schools offering workshops, tasting classes and lectures by small olive oil producers...

Festival del Gusto is pleased to now have a new Blog at which we will post all our latest news and details of our events in Italy and also in the UK along with  Vinitours . We are working closely with our producer friends in Italy to source superb organic and biodynamic food and wines, and have several exciting events planned for the spring and summer in Italy and London, so do follow us to keep up to date with all our news! Another exciting aspect of the Festival del Gusto project is the setting up of a dedicated olive oil school focusing on central and southern Italy and its aim is to promote artisan produced organic and biodynamic olive oils. The school will be set up to hold tastings and workshops in different regions of Italy over the spring, summer and autumn of each year, the regions will include Le Marche, Umbria, Tuscany, Lazio, Abruzzo and Puglia. Noi di Festival del Gusto siamo lieti di annunciare l'apertura di questo blog dove posteremo tutte le ultime novità, ...
