Trieste is known not only for its picturesque coastal location and coffee culture but also for its deep connection to Mediterranean flavors. A prime example of this is Olio Capitale, an event entirely dedicated to olive oil – celebrated with remarkable dedication.
A Place Where Olive Oil Is Truly Honored
Olio Capitale is much more than just an exhibition. Here, olive oil is celebrated in all its diversity. Olio Capitale attracts business people from the olive oil segment as well as private customers interested in EVOO, tasting or buying. The event attracts numerous visitors year after year – even on Sundays, when the halls and stands remain lively and bustling.
With around a hundred exhibitors from Italy and Greece presenting their best olive oils and other olive oil related products, visitors can get a comprehensive overview of current offers. Visitors have the opportunity to engage directly with manufacturers, enjoy tastings, and gain deep insights into the world of olive oil production. Free samples are offered everywhere – from mild, fruity varieties to intensely aromatic options that leave a slight tingling sensation on the palate.
More Than Just Olive Oil
Beyond the vast selection of olive oils, the event also highlights an array of olive-based products. Skincare items infused with olive oil, marinated olives, and sun-dried tomatoes are just a few of the delicacies available. The range of products illustrates how versatile the olive is—not only in the kitchen but also in the world of cosmetics and wellness.
A Hub for Knowledge and Business
Throughout the venue, expert lectures offer deeper insights into the production, quality, and health benefits of olive oil. Industry specialists share their expertise on cultivation, pressing techniques, and proper storage methods.
For businesses, a dedicated B2B area provides a space for producers, retailers, and restaurateurs to connect, fostering new collaborations that help bring high-quality olive oil from Trieste and other regions to the global market.
An Experience for Connoisseurs and Professionals Alike
Olio Capitale is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates olive oil—whether gourmet enthusiasts, home cooks, or industry professionals.
