“1st Monte Pisano Hobbyist Competition: ‘Oil Born from Passion!’ ‘Good oil? Let’s make it even better!’
Selections MAY 7-8 – AWARDS CEREMONY FRIDAY” MAY 9

If you too tend to your olive grove with passion every year, care for the harvest, and bring your olives to the mill hoping to make an oil that “can be felt” and “tastes good”, this competition is designed for you!
BRING YOUR OIL TO THE MONTE PISANO MILL, in a 250ml or 500ml bottle by April 30.

We want to offer you a “concrete opportunity to better understand how” your oil turned out, thanks to a “free sensory analysis and expert opinion from those who” really know oil.
We’re not interested in giving scores or making rankings! … but in sharing experiences, listening, discussing, and maybe improving something… all in a relaxed, family atmosphere.
At the end of the competition, we’ll celebrate and symbolically reward the oils that stood out.

But the real prize will be being there, being part of this small but great community that keeps the “oil culture alive in our territory.
Join us too.” Oil is a serious matter, but it’s also beautiful to experience together!

The selections will take place during the Introduction to “Tasting and Sensory Analysis of” EVO Oil Course sessions – May 7-8-9, 2025
The awards ceremony will be held after the buffet on Friday, May 9
