Maurizio –
At first, I was very unsure whether this seminar was really right for me, as I myself have an olive grove. My main goal was to learn more about the entire process from cultivation to sales and to find out how I could improve myself and the quality of my products, rather than just distinguishing different qualities by taste.
Despite my doubts, I spontaneously decided to participate, and I have not regretted it for a second. The organization was excellently thought out, and I truly lacked nothing. I was particularly impressed by Mr. Oberg, who leads the seminar with an exceptional competence that is certainly unique in the German-speaking world.
We tasted a total of 32 different oils and analyzed their qualities. This involved not only tasting but also topics such as cultivation, pressing, and filtering. The seminar essentially covered everything one needs to know.
It is suitable not only for olive oil lovers but also for people who want to build their own business in the olive oil sector. For me, it is an ideal introduction that I can highly recommend.
Best regards to Kai and his team, who organized it wonderfully!

Ich war mir zunächst sehr unsicher, ob dieses Seminar wirklich das Richtige für mich ist, da ich selbst einen Olivenöl Hain habe. Mein Ziel war es vor allem, mehr über den gesamten Prozess vom Anbau bis zum Verkauf zu lernen und herauszufinden, wie ich mich und die Qualität meiner Produkte verbessern kann, anstatt nur unterschiedliche Qualitäten herauszuschmecken.
Trotz meiner Zweifel habe ich mich sehr spontan entschieden, teilzunehmen und ich habe es keine Sekunde bereut. Die Organisation war hervorragend durchdacht und es hat mir wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich Herr Oberg, der das Seminar mit einer außergewöhnlichen Kompetenz leitet, die im deutschsprachigen Raum sicherlich einzigartig ist.
Wir haben insgesamt 32 verschiedene Öle verkostet und deren Qualitäten analysiert. Dabei ging es nicht nur um das Schmecken, sondern auch um Themen wie Anbau, Pressen und Filtern. Das Seminar hat im Grunde alles abgedeckt, was man wissen muss.
Es ist nicht nur für Olivenölliebhaber geeignet, sondern auch für Menschen, die ein eigenes Business im Bereich Olivenöl aufbauen möchten. Für mich ist es ein idealer Einstieg, den ich wärmstens empfehlen kann
Liebe GrĂĽĂźe gehen raus an Kai und sein Team die das super toll organisiert haben!

Kai –
Dear Maurizio,
Thank you very much for your wonderful words – that truly pleases me greatly! It is lovely to hear that despite initial doubts, you took the plunge and that the seminar was so valuable to you.
Precisely because you cultivate an olive grove yourself, it was particularly exciting for me to discuss the details from cultivation to marketing with you. Your passion for the subject was clearly palpable, and I am sure that your products will benefit from it.
Tasting 32 oils together and working out the subtle differences – that is always a joy, especially with such engaged participants as yourself!
I wish you much success with your olive grove and look forward to staying in touch. You are always welcome to visit again.
Warm regards from Liguria,
Kai and the entire team

Lieber Maurizio,
vielen herzlichen Dank für deine wunderbaren Worte – das freut mich wirklich sehr! Es ist schön zu hören, dass du trotz anfänglicher Zweifel den Schritt gewagt hast und das Seminar für dich so wertvoll war.
Gerade weil du selbst einen Olivenhain bewirtschaftest, war es fĂĽr mich besonders spannend, mit dir ĂĽber die Details vom Anbau bis zur Vermarktung zu sprechen. Deine Leidenschaft fĂĽr das Thema war deutlich spĂĽrbar, und ich bin mir sicher, dass deine Produkte davon profitieren werden.
32 Öle gemeinsam zu verkosten und die feinen Unterschiede herauszuarbeiten – das macht einfach jedes Mal aufs Neue Freude, vor allem mit so engagierten Teilnehmern wie dir!
Ich wĂĽnsche dir viel Erfolg mit deinem Olivenhain und freue mich, wenn wir in Kontakt bleiben. Du bist jederzeit herzlich willkommen, wieder vorbeizukommen.
Herzliche GrĂĽĂźe aus Ligurien,
Kai und das gesamte Team

That was a truly worthwhile Saturday. A perfectly organised, lovingly and attentively hosted seminar in a pleasant setting with perfect all-round catering. And particularly noteworthy: characterised by great expertise and didactically committed knowledge sharing by Mr Oberg. Solid knowledge was presented in an entertaining and very instructive way, motivating us to evaluate various olive oils and ultimately analyse them independently.
Many thanks also for the presentation materials!
I will recommend you to all our friends who love Italy and especially olive oil.

On 29 March 2025, Organic Farming Italy organised an olive oil seminar with Dieter Oberg as speaker at the Palm House of Nymphenburg Palace from 9am to 5pm.
Mr Oberg has been head of the Informationsgemeinschaft Olivenoel for 35 years. He also founded and led the German Olive Oil Panel (DOP) for 17 years, which developed the current valid sensory testing standards in Europe. He advises the European Union, Stiftung Warentest, many institutes and olive oil producers across Europe. He is also a juror on numerous recognised olive oil tasting panels such as the "GOOL – Global Olive Oil Award". If you will, he is the most knowledgeable person in Germany when it comes to olive oil.
Since I had long wanted to attend such an event, I booked a place.
It was an absolutely magnificent experience. Every participant received a high-quality nameplate and there was a small breakfast to start: pretzels, chocolate-filled croissants, smoothie shots, nuts, orange juice and coffee.
Alongside a little theory in the morning, we were already able to taste a few of the "good" ones from a total of 19 olive oil samples. That was my first aha moment, as I recognised their aroma and taste from supermarket/discount olive oils.
Next came samples of defective and a refined olive oil, to experience the other side of the coin. How badly such oils smell is hard to describe. They reminded me of cleaning products and chocolate with rum.
For lunch there was a lavish buffet with delicious salmon, chicken, potatoes, rice, etc. For dessert there were chocolate-covered profiteroles, pudding and sheet cake. I have no photos of the dessert... sorry. It was simply too delicious.
In the afternoon we started the second tasting round. This time exclusively with good oils. We were introduced to the criterion and evaluation scheme of "harmony".
All the samples represented everything an olive oil lover could wish for: from the varieties Coratina, Hojiblanca, Picual to Taggiasca. From lightly to intensely fruity to strongly peppery.
The last sample was, for me – someone who has already tasted very many oils – a revelation: again from the Hojiblanca variety. I had previously been able to try two olive oils from this variety privately (early and late harvest). Both were good but not to my taste. The sample that Mr Oberg had selected for us was completely different. A very fine, mild aroma. Like a freshly picked apple in a flower meadow. I felt transported back to my first tasting in Corfu in 2019.
The final insight for me was therefore: olive oil can always surprise you. Even when you thought that olive variety "X" harvested early has a definitive aroma, you are suddenly taught otherwise.
Finally, each participant was presented with a package containing a bottle of olive oil and an extremely stylish certificate. Many thanks to the organisers for all your effort and to Mr Oberg for this informative seminar.

Am 29.03.2025 organisierte organic Farming italy im Palmenhaus des Schlosses Nymphenburg von 9 – 17 Uhr ein Olivenöl Seminar mit Dieter Oberg als Referent.
Herr Oberg ist seit 35 Jahren Leiter der Informationsgemeinschaft Olivenöl. Zudem gründete und leitete er 17 Jahre lang das Deutsche Olivenölpanel (DOP), welches die aktuellen gültigen sensorischen Test-Standards in Europa entwickelte. Er berät die Europäische Union, Stiftung Warentest, viele Institute und Olivenöl-Produzenten in ganz Europa. Weiterhin ist er Juror in zig anerkannten Olivenöl-Test Panels wie z.B. der “GOOL – global Olive Oil Award”. Wenn man so will, ist er die kompetenteste Person in Deutschland, wenn es um das Thema Olivenöl geht.
Da ich schon lange an so einem Event teilnehmen wollte, hatte ich mir einen Platz gebucht.
Es war ein absolut groĂźartiges Erlebnis. Jeder Teilnehmer hat ein hochwertiges Namensschild bekommen und es gab zu Beginn ein kleines FrĂĽhstĂĽck: Unter anderem Brezen, mit Schokolade gefĂĽllte Croissants, Smoothie Shots, NĂĽsse, Orangensaft und Kaffee.
Neben ein wenig Theorie am Vormittag durfte man schon ein paar der “guten” von insgesamt 19 Olivenölproben verkosten. Da war fĂĽr mich schon der erste Aha Effekt, da ich deren Aroma und Geschmack von Olivenölen aus dem Supermarkt / Discounter kannte.
Als nächstes folgten Proben von fehlerhaften und einem raffinierten Olivenöl, um auch mal die andere Seite der Medaille kennen zu lernen. Wie schlimm solche Öle riechen, kann man schwer beschreiben. Mich erinnerten diese an Putzmittel und Schokolade mit Rum.
Zur Mittagspause gab es ein ĂĽppiges Buffet mit leckerem Lachs, Hähnchen, Kartoffeln, Reis, etc. Zum Nachtisch gab es mit Schokolade ĂĽberzogene Profiterole, Pudding und Blechkuchen. Vom Dessert habe ich keine Bilder…tut mir leid. War einfach zu lecker.
Am Nachmittag starteten wir in die zweite Verkostungsrunde. Diesmal mit ausschlieĂźlich guten Ă–len. Dabei brachte man uns das Kriterium und Bewertungsschema der “Harmonie” näher.
Bei den Proben war alles vertreten, was das Olivenölherz begehrt: von den Sorten Coratina, Hojiblanca, Picual bis Taggiasca. Von leicht bis intensiv fruchtig bis stark scharf.
Die letzte Probe war für mich, der schon sehr viele Öle probiert hat, eine Offenbarung: Wieder aus der Sorte Hojiblanca. Von dieser konnte ich privat bisher zwei Olivenöle probieren (Früh- und Späternte). Beide waren zwar gut aber nicht nach meinem Geschmack. Die Probe, die Herr Oberg uns herausgesucht hat, war dagegen völlig anders. Von einem sehr feinen, milden Aroma. Wie ein frisch gepflückter Apfel auf einer Blumenwiese. Ich habe mich an mein erstes Tasting 2019 in Korfu zurück versetzt gefühlt.
Die letzte Erkenntnis war fĂĽr mich daher: Olivenöl kann einen immer wieder ĂĽberraschen. Selbst wenn man schon geglaubt hat, dass Olivensorte “X” frĂĽh geerntet, eine definitives Aroma hat, wird man plötzlich eines besseren belehrt.
Schlussendlich wurde jedem ein Paket mit einer Flasche Olivenöl und einer äußerst schicken Urkunde überreicht. Vielen Dank an die Organisatoren für eure ganze Mühe und an Herrn Oberg, für dieses Wissenswerte Seminar.
