An evening dedicated to extra virgin olive oil tasting
Milan, June 25, 2026
In the historic setting of Ristorante Savini, in the heart of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, an exclusive evening dedicated to discovering Villa Valles extra virgin olive oil, the brand of Olivicola Blerana, took place yesterday, June 24.
An event reserved for twenty selected guests, designed to show how quality oil can become a star at the table and enhance every dish through its aromas, balance, and personality.
A tasting journey through the three Villa Valles lines
During the dinner, the three lines that make up the Villa Valles collection were presented and tasted:
-
Villa Valles Bio, an expression of organic cultivation and respect for nature
-
Villa Valles Tradizionale, a balanced blend designed to accompany everyday cooking
-
Villa Valles Premium, the selection dedicated to the best vintages and most exclusive productions
Each oil was described through its sensory characteristics, allowing guests to grasp the differences and understand its correct use in cooking.
Guided by agronomist Nicola Fazzi
The tasting journey was led by agronomist Nicola Fazzi, who guided participants in discovering the cultivars, production techniques, and characteristics that distinguish each Villa Valles line.
Through simple yet rigorous language, he illustrated how olive varieties, harvesting period, and processing influence the oil's aromatic profile, offering guests an experience that combined culture, technique, and taste.
Cuisine designed around oil
The entire dinner menu was created using exclusively Villa Valles oils, enhancing each course through pairings carefully chosen to highlight their characteristics.
From appetizer to dessert, extra virgin olive oil was not just a simple condiment, but a true ingredient capable of interacting with raw materials and accompanying the gastronomic journey.
An opportunity to demonstrate how a quality oil can transform every dish, expressing different nuances depending on the pairings and preparations.
Oil culture and sharing
The evening at Savini represented a meeting point for Ho.Re.Ca operators, producers, catering professionals, and enthusiasts, united by the desire to deepen their knowledge of extra virgin olive oil through a direct experience.
For Olivicola Blerana, initiatives like this are part of a path aimed at creating relationships with chefs, restaurants, and high-end hospitality establishments, promoting an oil culture that values quality, territorial identity, and correct use in cooking.
For Olivicola Blerana, initiatives like this are an opportunity to spread oil culture, tell the story behind each harvest, and promote increasingly conscious consumption.
Villa Valles thus continues its journey of enhancing Italian extra virgin olive oil, bringing to tables not just a product, but a story made of research, passion, and respect for quality.
