What happens at the table
Learn the tasting method
Warm the glass, smell, slurp. It is the same routine official tasting panels use, and it takes five minutes to learn.
Taste oils side by side
Several extra virgin oils from Italy, Spain and Greece, from mild to robust, including oil from this season's harvest.
Read a label like a buyer
Harvest date, variety, origin, polyphenols: what matters on a bottle, what is marketing, and what a tired oil tastes like.
Full disclosure: we are Olijfolie Markt, a small olive oil importer in Amstelveen that buys directly from the mills. We run this tasting because people who have tasted good oil tend to stay curious about it. There is nothing to buy on the day and nobody will ask you to.

Questions people usually ask
Is it really free?
Yes. No ticket, no deposit, and nothing to buy on the day. If you can no longer make it, just reply to the confirmation email so someone else can have the seat.
Do I need to know anything about olive oil?
No. Most people who come have never tasted olive oil on its own. We start from zero.
Can I bring someone?
Yes, choose the number of people in the form. Because the group is small, please only reserve seats you will use.
What language is it in?
English. Questions in Dutch or Turkish are welcome too.
