CASA CINQUE EXPERIENCES
Greek Olive Oil From Tree to Table
Taste seven Greek extra virgin olive oils, explore how olive oil evolves over time and discover its place at the heart of the Greek table.
More Than an Olive Oil Tasting
A Journey Through Greek Olive Oil
Taste extra virgin olive oils from different regions of Greece, compare local mill production and explore the same olive oil at three stages of its life.
The experience combines sensory tasting, practical knowledge and direct experimentation with food.
Seven Greek Olive Oils
Discover extra virgin olive oils from Crete, the Peloponnese, Lesvos and Evros, together with selected oils from nearby local mills.
The Tree, the Land & the Harvest
Explore how climate, variety, harvest timing and production methods influence the aroma, flavour and character of each olive oil.
Taste, Compare & Experiment
The bottles remain on the table, allowing guests to try different oils with each dish and experience the results directly.
AN IMMERSIVE GREEK EXPERIENCE
From the Olive Tree to Your Plate
Discover olive oil as a living product shaped by land, harvest, time and the way it is used at the table.
Olive Oils of Greece

An olive oil from one of Greece’s most established producing regions, known for balance, fruitiness and culinary versatility.

A VERTICAL OLIVE OIL TASTING
One Olive Oil, Three Moments in Time
Taste the same olive oil as fresh early-harvest agoureleo, at its ideal stage of consumption and after one year of ageing.
This comparison reveals how freshness, aromas, bitterness, pungency and structure evolve — and why extra virgin olive oil should be treated as a living product.
