STALIA-Olive oil & Gastronomic Experiences

staliá

Greek word meaning tiny amount or small drop.

It comes from the verb instil (= to drip, to infuse), which also means to inspire and cultivate a feeling gradually and systematically.

Creating the "stalia", the owners have been cultivating the land with care for five generations to offer you tiny drops of the aroma and taste of their place...with smells of the earth and the Mediterranean breeze.

Greece, the land of light and sea, is famous for its excellent olive oil. Oil producers across the territory are not content simply producing this "liquid gold" but go one step further, inviting people to experience the magic of olive oil up close through tasting experiences. The dining experience at "Stalia" begins with a tour of the lush green olive trees that spread out like a green ocean.

Visitors have the opportunity to observe the traditional and modern cultivation methods closely, learn about the history of the olive tree, and discover the secrets of its cultivation. They are then taken to the production areas, where they can watch the process of pressing the olives and producing the olive oil. This process combines tradition and technology, a true art that requires knowledge, experience, and passion.

The culmination of the experience comes with the taste tests. Visitors can taste different varieties of olive oil, from the most gently aromatic to the most spicy and intense. Each sip also reveals a different story, synthesising flavours and aromas that emerge from Greece's land and the sun. Oil producers often collaborate with local chefs, offering culinary creations that highlight the quality and complexity of olive oil. From salads and appetisers to main courses and desserts, olive oil plays a leading role, highlighting every dish.

The culinary experiences they organise in Stalia are not just a tourist attraction. They are a journey to the roots of Greek gastronomy, an opportunity to get to know the culture and tradition that accompany olive oil. These experiences leave unforgettable memories and make every visitor even more appreciate this precious gift of nature.

Come to "Stalia" to have this unique experience, meet the people behind the olive oil, and taste the authentic taste of Greece.
