A science workshop focusing on the role of olive oil in the Mediterranean Diet will be taking place this Saturday (February 15) at the Centro de Ciência Viva do Algarve in Faro.
It will allow participants to discover the chemical characteristics of olive oil and its healthy benefits, as well as learn how it changes according to the conditions of where it is produced (climate, soil, etc.), the variety and maturity of the olives that are used, the time that passes from the harvest to the extraction, and the way it is ground and pressed.
Participants will also be able to taste a number of different oils, as well as try out some specialised devices.
Olive oil is the main source of fat in the Mediterranean Diet. However, as it is a monounsaturated fat, it helps to keep our arteries healthy.
Saturday’s workshop costs €2.5 for youngsters and €5 for adults.
People can sign up by email or telephone.
