Greek Olive Oil & Food Pairing Tasting in Athens
Extra Virgin Olive Oil reveals its true character when it meets food.
The Greek Olive Oil & Food Pairing Tasting is a guided, hands-on experience designed to show how different olive oils interact with everyday Greek dishes, changing flavour, balance and texture.
This experience combines olive oil tasting with practical food experimentation, offering a richer and more engaging way to understand olive oil beyond the glass.
Hosted across selected locations of the Cinque Wine & Deli network, it is ideal for guests who want to taste, eat and truly understand olive oil.
Taste Four Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oils
Guests will taste four different Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oils, sourced from different regions of Greece and presented in professional olive oil tasting glasses.
Each olive oil is explained by the Cinque team, focusing on:
-
aroma and flavour profile
-
intensity and balance
-
how olive oil behaves on its own
-
why certain oils pair better with specific foods
Food Pairing & Hands-On Experimentation
Alongside the tasting, guests receive four small bowls of food, designed to explore real pairing scenarios:
-
Mini salad with cherry tomatoes & rusks
-
Chicken
-
Feta cheese
-
Fava
In addition to the tasting glasses, an extra bowl of each olive oil is provided, allowing guests to:
-
drizzle different olive oils on each dish
-
compare results side by side
-
understand why certain combinations work better than others
This interactive approach turns tasting into practical knowledge guests can use at home.
Palate Cleansing & Tasting Flow
An apple is provided between tastings to cleanse the palate, following professional tasting practice and helping guests clearly distinguish flavours.
The experience balances tasting, food and discussion without feeling heavy — it is substantial, but not a full meal.
Who This Experience Is For
This tasting is ideal for:
-
food lovers and home cooks
-
guests curious about olive oil pairing
-
travellers interested in Greek gastronomy
-
anyone who wants to use olive oil more confidently in everyday cooking
