Great tasting with Maya
The museum is just ok - I found the audio guide a bit repetitive with the text on the exhibits and stopped listening fairly early on. However, the tasting was amazing! I learned so much from Maya, who is one of those people who has really found her calling in life. I’ll never buy olive oil the same way (shame on the EU for allowing so much to be labelled as EVOO!), and I’ll always think of Maya when I’m buying olive oil at the supermarket. The oils we tasted were amazing, as was the dessert. Maya recommended the perfect olive oil to enhance it even more. Definitely go for the full experience!

Get a different view on olive oil
We had heard good things about it before and decided to visit it ourselves. We visited the museum and took the tasting afterwards. The tasting session was very enriching and interesting, it really gives you a different view on your everyday supermarkt olive oil. :-) The museum recently moved, the but the new location is a good fit and everything is exhibited in a spacious and cool location.
