Who knew olive oil was so special! - We learned about the whole process in the local area and tried many different olive oils and learned so much!! I’d never realised how much you should know about olive oil. I definitely recommend this. The host was excellent

A totally unique and "not to miss" experience! - This experience was truly one of the highlights of our 3 weeks in Spain! It was so unique, fascinating and fun. Mari Carmen is passionate, professional and brings deep personal knowledge to this "class". Olives are literally in her DNA and it shows! The two of us were paired with another couple for the tasting and that made the whole thing even more enjoyable. If you are anywhere near Cordoba, I strongly recommend taking the time for this incredibly special experience.

Don’t hesitate - a fabulous experience! 👍 - We stumbled across this shop whilst exploring the little lanes of Cordoba. So glad we booked this tasting experience! Carmen Maria was a delightful host, so knowledgable, passionate and charming. We learnt a great deal about the production, varieties and properties of extra virgin olive oil - including the aromas, the pungency and the health benefits. Not all olive oils are equal! We bought gifts and take-home produce but it was all very relaxed and friendly. We were there for around three hours! A very pleasurable experience, thank you 💞 (As well as the oils, there is water and bread to cleanse your palette and gluten-free bread available on request 👍)

O-live it up! - This was a true delight. Our guide Cristina was so hospitable and warm. She was also very accommodating because we could not join another group of English speakers later in the day due to other excursions we had tickets for, so she did the tour just for the two of us. She was very informative; we learned so much about olive oil! When we returned later in the day to purchase a few bottles (and by the way, there was NO pressure at all at the time of our tour to buy anything!), we met Maria del Carmen, who has earned the prestige of being an official olive oil judge in Spain! She was incredibly helpful in helping us to select our purchases. This was a lovely little shop which we noticed many of the locals came to as well. Not just a place selling to tourists.

Cooking locally in Cordoba - Barbara was a very sweet engaging young woman. She was encouraging, very positive and patient! I did all the chopping and cooking of the salmorejo and paella. Both turned out well and I learned a few things. It turned out to be a lot of food!
