Olive Oil Tasting Course

The Douro Museum hosts the Introductory Olive Oil Tasting Course, a training session organized with APPITAD and designed for those who want to take their first steps in the sensory analysis of virgin olive oils. Throughout the sessions, topics such as olive oil production and composition, tasting principles, positive and negative attributes, and classification criteria based on the tasting note are covered.

The training is led by José Pessoa, a photography and radiography technician for the conservation of works of art, and is aimed at museum, archive, and library technicians, as well as historians, archaeologists, researchers, scholars, and the interested public.
