Online training program

Prodeca is organising the 4th Guided Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting to mark World Olive Tree Day. This year, as something new, alongside the guided tasting we are adding the culinary uses of PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) extra virgin olive oil: tradition and creativity in the kitchen. 

The project is run with the collaboration and participation of Catalonia's five PDOs (Terra Alta, Baix Ebre-Montsià, Empordà, Siurana and Les Garrigues), the Official Tasting Panel for Catalan Virgin Olive Oils, chef Pep Nogué and the Poma de Girona PGI, and its aim is to spread the word about the qualities of Catalan PDO oils among the future Catalan food opinion leaders now training at Catalonia's hospitality schools.
