Description

Advanced Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting in Athens

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is not a single flavour — it is a world of aromas, textures and regional expressions.

The Advanced Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting builds upon the introductory experience and offers a deeper, more detailed exploration of Greek olive oil, designed for guests who want to compare, analyse and truly understand its diversity.

Hosted across selected locations of the Cinque Wine & Deli network, this experience expands the tasting range while keeping the same educational, accessible and sensory approach.


Taste Six Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oils

During the tasting, you will sample six different Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oils, sourced from various olive-growing regions of Greece and presented in professional olive oil tasting glasses.

Each olive oil is explained in detail, focusing on:

  • aroma intensity and profile

  • fruitiness, bitterness and pungency

  • varietal and regional differences

  • quality markers and production methods

The extended lineup allows guests to compare styles side by side and develop a clearer understanding of personal preference.


Production, Tasting & Sensory Education

The experience includes:

  • informative videos explaining how olive oil is produced

  • guidance on professional olive oil tasting techniques

  • detailed maps of Greek olive oil regions

  • aroma references connected to olive oil flavours

This structured approach helps guests move beyond simple tasting into conscious sensory evaluation.


Food Pairing & Flavour Transformation

To explore olive oil in real use, the tasting is accompanied by:

  • fresh bread

  • cherry tomatoes

  • feta cheese

  • three different types of Greek olives

Guests are encouraged to observe how the same food changes character depending on the olive oil used, reinforcing how olive oil selection impacts everyday cooking.

An apple is provided between tastings to cleanse the palate, following professional tasting practice.


Who This Experience Is For

This tasting is ideal for:

  • food lovers seeking deeper knowledge

  • guests who enjoyed the introductory olive oil tasting

Why Cinque

Cinque is not just a tasting. It’s a way of experiencing Greek culture through flavour.

At Cinque, experiences are designed to go beyond the product itself.
Whether the focus is wine, olive oil, deli products or spirits, each experience follows the same philosophy: authenticity, quality and real human connection.

What makes Cinque different is not what we serve — it’s how we serve it.

  • Curated by experience, not trends
    Every tasting is carefully designed by people who work daily with the products, the producers and the stories behind them.

  • Greek at the core
    We focus on Greek origin, local producers and honest flavours that reflect place, season and tradition.

  • Relaxed, social and unpretentious
    No rigid rules, no formality — just guided discovery in a welcoming, human setting.

  • Designed for real people
    Experiences adapt naturally to each group, whether you’re a beginner, a curious explorer or a true enthusiast.

  • More than tasting — a shared moment
    Cinque experiences are meant to be felt, discussed and remembered, not simply consumed.

At Cinque, every experience is an invitation to slow down, connect and taste Greece with intention.
