Oleocentrica olive oil festival in Vieste

Overview

The tenth edition of the ‘Oleocentrica – La Settimana dell’Olio’ festival was held in Vieste, aiming to connect agriculture, research, and tourism through the celebration of olive oil in the Gargano territory.

The event featured a producer's market, scientific discussions on milling technology and international markets, and workshops focused on the relationship between olive oil and various culinary applications. Specific sessions included guided tastings of award-winning table olives and explorations of the technical aspects of raw materials.

Culinary professionals and masters utilized the festival to explore pairings between extra virgin olive oil and products such as bread, pizza, and pastry. Workshops, including ‘Pane e Olio’, examined the integration of monovarietal oils from the Gargano region—such as Picholine, Ogliarola Garganica, and Coratina—with different grain types and sourdough in modern gastronomy.
