The experience
How do you actually cook with olive oil every day? That's the question this tasting answers. You'll work through six dishes in 90 minutes at O75, each one built around extra virgin olive oil and each one something you can remake in your own kitchen. The session starts with breakfast: you make an Andalusian toast (bread, oil, tomato and ham) the easiest way to add oil to your morning. Then comes the appetizer, a two-ingredient dip of oil and balsamic vinegar that takes minutes to throw together.
The tasting moves into savory territory next. You'll taste individual organic products (olive paste, white garlic, Salmorejo) to understand the different flavors and textures oil brings to each one. Then the menu shifts sweet: locally made chocolate, almonds and artisanal ice cream all made with oil, followed by a final dessert of oranges, cinnamon and oil that's both refreshing and unusual. Between each tasting, you get a gastronomic tip you can use at home, so the experience doubles as a practical cooking lesson.
Drinks and snacks come throughout: soda, bottled water, and the alcoholic beverages woven into the tapas themselves. Olive beer paired with cheese, salmon and hummus, all made in Andalucía. The whole thing is wheelchair accessible, and children from age one are welcome.
