CHEFS from across the North West are urged by organisers Grand Tourist to sample olive oils from Le Marche, Italy at exclusive tasting sessions.
The olive oil is some of the finest in the world and thanks to luxury travel company Grand Tourist, chefs can win a visit to where it is made in the Le Marche region on the Eastern coast of Italy in a cultural and skills exchange.
The free tastings are at Olio & Farina in Bridge Street, Chester on Tuesday, February 5 and at The London Carriage Works in Liverpool on February 6, from 3-5pm.
The Italian olive oil tasting is being run in conjunction with exclusive gourmet events in Chester, offering the chance to sample the cuisine of a Michelin starred Chef.
Mauro Uliassi will travel from Senigallia, which is twinned with Chester, and cook at The Arkle restaurant at the five-star Chester Grosvenor Hotel for lunch on Wednesday, February 6 and for dinner on Thursday, February 7.
Grand Tourist, organises food and wine tasting holidays to Senigallia and the surrounding Le Marche region of Italy, combined with Italian food.
Director of Grand Tourist, Janet Simmonds, said: “As Senigallia is twinned with Chester, it is particularly appropriate that we should welcome this fantastic olive oil to the North West.
“Senigallia, on Italy’s Adriatic Coast is a stunning place to visit with fantastic seafood. As a region, Le Marche is relatively undiscovered, but Grand Tourist offer exclusive packages and insights into the delights there.”
