NOT ALL OLIVE OILS ARE THE SAME
THE TASTE OF EXTRAVERGINE HAS THE EDGE
Not long now to the third edition of that prestigious salon reserved for the very best in typical and quality olive oils. Fiera Trieste is ready to welcome all gourmet enthusiasts and buyers, to discover the many facets of extravirgin olive oil. A rich calendar of events, an Oilbar and a competition to find the very best products on offer. This is a golden time for extravirgin olive oil, which is living through the same experience as wine has witnessed over the last two decades. Attention has gradually focused in on what can best be defined as una pura spremuta di olive (a pure pressing of olives) – a simple but precise description, since the olive oil derived from olives is a natural product that can never be matched by other food oils obtained from working on seeds. What we have here is a “fruit oil”, with all the implications in terms of nutritional and health values, but also when it comes to perfume and taste. This takes us on to the all-involving celebration of the product, in the third edition of “Olio Capitale”, in Trieste, scheduled from 6 to 9 March 2009, and organised by Fiera Trieste. Gourmet enthusiasts from round the world will be descending on the event, aware that following on from the success of the previous edition, this occasion is effectively becoming the established meeting point for anyone who appreciates or consumes this product. As before, the Fair will not be restricted to rows of stands where businesses present their extravirgin olive oils, but will also offer a series of other interesting parallel initiatives and events for the diary.
