The Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil Journey in Athens | Cinque Wine & Deli

The Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil Journey in Athens

Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made to be enjoyed at the table.

This two-hour experience brings together four selected Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oils and four different dishes, served as a light lunch or dinner at Cinque Wine & Deli Monastiraki.

Each pairing introduces a different Greek region, olive variety and way of using Extra Virgin Olive Oil with food—from bread and salad to smoked pork and ice cream.

No previous knowledge is required. Our team presents each olive oil and pairing in a relaxed and approachable way throughout the meal.

Four Greek Regions. Four Different Pairings.

The experience includes four Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oils from Lesvos, Thrace, Crete and Ancient Olympia.

Rather than tasting them on their own, you will discover how their aromas, intensity and character work with four different dishes.

Pairing 01

Bread & Aegean Gold

Bread served with Aegean Gold Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Lesvos, produced from the Kolovi and Adramitiani olive varieties.

The first pairing keeps the food simple, allowing the character of the olive oil to remain at the centre of the tasting.

Pairing 02

Creek Salad & AGES

Creek salad with tomatoes, feta cheese and Cretan rusks, paired with AGES Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Alexandroupolis, Thrace.

The tomatoes, feta and rusks show how the olive oil works with fresh ingredients, acidity and texture.

Pairing 03

Greek Smoked Pork Tenderloin & Elea Rokka

Greek smoked pork tenderloin paired with Elea Rokka Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced in Chania, Crete, from the Koroneiki olive variety.

A savoury pairing in which the olive oil complements the smoky character of the dish.

Pairing 04

Fior di Latte Ice Cream & ENA ENA

Ice cream made with Fior di Latte, a traditional Greek milk cream, paired with ENA ENA Organic PGI Olympia Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced from the Koroneiki olive variety.

The final pairing demonstrates how Extra Virgin Olive Oil can also be served with dessert.

More Than an Olive Oil Tasting

This is not a technical seminar or simply a tasting of four olive oils.

It is a complete food experience that shows how Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil works in a meal—from the simplicity of bread to the unexpected combination of olive oil and ice cream.

During the experience, our team briefly introduces:

• the four Greek olive-growing regions
• the olive varieties
• the producers
• the character of each Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• the reason behind each food pairing

There is also time for questions and discussion around the table.
