Olive Oil Field Study

Date: Saturday, June 19, 1999
Time: All Day

Tuscany, Italy
June 19-26, 1999

www.COOC.com member John Garner, who has lived in Tuscany for
several years has organized an Olive Oil Field Study Group to
Tuscany this summer (June 19-26). John has an extensive
background in viticulture and olive oil production and he is
pleased to have Dottore Piero Toti as Education Director for the
study tour. Dottore Toti is a Tuscan olive oil producer with
degrees in both viticulture and enology from Turin University as
well as olive cultivation and olive oil production from Ancona
University. His olive oil mill has old mill stones dating back
to 1684 and the olive oil is produced using traditional methods.
The mill was rebuilt in 1997. The Dottore is an active member of
the AICOO ~ the Italian equivalent of the COOC and he plans to
have experienced tasters from the association present oils and
participate in the discussions.
The program will include guided tours, discussions of
"olivocultura" in Italy, tasting sessions, olive oil production
techniques, field trips to mills, olive orchards and wineries, a
visit to machinery manufacturer Pieralisi, marketing and
shipping of olive oil presentation and cookery demonstrations.
This will be a unique opportunity to experience Tuscany in the
capable hands of local experts.

You may contact Lori Martin or Dick Mercer at EXPERIENCE ITALY
for further information or bookings at 888-397-4825. The number
of participants will be limited. Please note that the study
tours will be held three times per year; early summer, autumn
and early spring. Arrangements may be easily made should you
wish to extend your trip before or after the event.
