"Fascinating insight into the world of olive oil. Johnny has an incredible depth of knowledge and we loved learning to taste different oils and their characteristics. Would highly recommend this tasting tour. I shall never look at olive oils in the same way again! Cheryl Payne"

The Experience
What Makes This Spanish Food Experience Special
Everything that makes this a must-book Spanish food experience.
Highlights
- I am the only International Olive Oil Judge in Valencia who holds evoo tastings
- 20 yrs of holding tastings means I know exactly how to make them fun & informed
- As an International Judge I have the Best Oils in Spain but also other countries
- You discover the amazing and delicious variety that olive oils can have.
- You smell and taste delicious oils & then you'll hear how to use them with food
What's Included
- A tasting of at least 3 of the World's Best Olive Oils with an explanation of the techniques that we use in the International Olive Oil Competitions that I judge in. This is not, as is usually the case, a tasting done by a producer of their own oils, it is a tasting where the oils have been chosen by a an expert with 20 years of experience. If people want to, we offer them bread to dip in their oil. This could be the delicious locally-made bread that we normally use; sourdough or gluten-free. Basically Johnny can answer any questions you may have about olive oil: about health, use of oil with food, milling technology, whether you 'can' use olive oil to cook with (of course you can!) and many other things besides.

About Valencia Olive Oil Tastings
An olive oil tasting in Valencia takes you to the source — the groves and mills of the world’s biggest producing country — with a guided tasting that recalibrates what you buy forever.
Most tastings include several single-variety oils plus local bread, cheese or jamón — closer to a wine tasting than a shop demo.

What Travelers Say
"Johnny Madge is truly an expert in olive oils. He talks enthusiastically about the preparation and flavours of the different types of oil. Our group had a wonderful time and we tasted and smelled many different oils. The tasting is a little way outside the centre of Valencia, but it's definitely worth the walk. Highly recommended!"
"Me and my partner both thoroughly enjoyed Johnny's Olive Oil Tasting! Johnny was informative and welcoming with a clear passion for passing on his extensive knowledge. We got to sample some fantastic oils and would highly reccomend the experience to anyone looking to learn more about olive oil"
"Johnny was an amazing host, kind, courteous, and with a wealth of experience. We very much enjoyed our time with Johnny. It formed one of our best experiences in Valencia."
"Really great! I would highly recommend the tour, Johnny is very knowledgeable and fun, and the location is lovely. Thank you!"
