Olive Oil Immersion Tour – Are you ready to take control over your health and introduce Mediterranean nutrition to your life?
eumelia with over 30 years of collective knowledge and experience offers a unique opportunity to introduce food pleasure and increase your health defense.
We provide the tools to become an excellent conscious plant-based cook while mastering the number one ingredient of the Mediterranean nutrition: extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
Experience hands-on the transformation of the olive to a premium extra virgin olive oil from an ancient farm directly to the bottle.
Master three Greek olive oil varieties, learn all the secrets of food pairing and cooking with extra virgin olive oil and let it be the star of your dishes.
As Hippocrates might have said, let nutracutical EVOO be your medicine, adopt healthy EVOO habits that will boost your immune system and protect your health forever.
Walk, reconnect with nature and meditate on current concerns of humanity and our relationship with mother Earth.
And since Mediterranean is not only about nutrition, immerse yourself to the slow lifestyle of Greeks:
– Let a rooster wake you up in your own eco-farm house – Have endless dinner chats under the stars with the companion of a curated selection of natural Greek wines and like-minded people – Meditate under a 2000 years old olive tree and relax with high phenolic EVOO massage. – Encounter our ancestors in ancient Sparta and get inspired by their lifestyle. – Visit picturesque locations
Whatever Greeks build, lasts for a life! Our wish is to build a lifelong friendship with you. We also wish that your family and friends will also taste what you harvested! As a gift for your initiation into the Greek olive oil world, we will send you, right to your doorsteps, 6 bottles of the extra virgin olive oil that you harvested, tasted and cooked!
And don’t forget to offer your beloved ones an EVOO tasting evening with Greek food, there is no better way to share with them your life changing trip!
And let’s keep in touch… The following spring we will arrange a virtual gathering with more cooking! All participants will participate for free in a virtual gathering and cooking class for even more EVOO tips.
There is more… Recipes e-books, tempting discounts, and exclusive early bird access to future events are included in this retreat. Additionally, a global virtual community helps make the experience last forever!
