Lieu et site du festival

Lieu : Fiera del Levante.

Adresse : Lungomare Starita, 4, 70132 Bari, Italy.

Full food & drink programme

EVOLIO Expo is centred specifically on extra virgin olive oil rather than being a general food festival. The 2027 programme is expected to combine professional conferences with EVO oil tastings, guided tasting courses, masterclasses, food pairings, show cooking and educational activities.

Oil and food: EVO oil will be explored both as a product for tasting and as an ingredient used in food preparation.

Education: Sessions will examine quality, sensory characteristics, production, nutrition, innovation and the cultural importance of olive oil.

Gastronomy: The programme will connect EVO oil with regional cuisine, chefs, recipes and food culture. The official 2027 announcement confirms tasting courses, masterclasses, conferences, guided tastings and show cooking as part of the event format.

Featured foods & specialties

Extra virgin olive oil: The central product of the exhibition, presented by producers from Puglia and other Italian and Mediterranean olive-growing areas.

Single-variety oils: Previous editions have highlighted Italy’s olive biodiversity through oils produced from individual native cultivars.

Mediterranean cuisine: EVO oil is presented alongside foods and dishes that demonstrate its culinary applications.

Regional specialties: Previous editions have featured oils and food products connected with Puglia, Basilicata, Tuscany, Lazio, Abruzzo, Sicily and other Italian regions.

Restaurants, vendors & producers

The exhibition is primarily a professional marketplace rather than a restaurant festival. Producers and specialist companies use their stands to present EVO oils, regional products, production stories and commercial opportunities.

EVO producers: Olive growers, oil mills and specialist producers form the core of the exhibitor community.

Regional groups: Previous editions included collective participation from regions such as Basilicata as well as producers from Tuscany, Lazio, Abruzzo and Sicily.

Associations: The event also involves industry associations, institutions and organisations representing different parts of the olive-oil supply chain.

Wine, beer & beverage selection

EVOLIO Expo is dedicated to EVO olive oil, so wine and beer are not the central focus of the event.

EVO oil: The main tasting product is extra virgin olive oil, presented through guided sensory experiences and food pairings.

Food pairings: Tasting activities demonstrate how EVO oil can be combined with different foods and regional culinary preparations.

Mediterranean food culture: Beverage and food elements support the wider gastronomic context of olive oil rather than functioning as a separate wine or beer festival.

Tastings, cooking demos & workshops

Guided tastings: Visitors and professionals can learn how to assess the sensory qualities and characteristics of different EVO oils.

Masterclasses: Specialist sessions provide deeper information about production, quality, sensory evaluation, health and the culture of olive oil.

Show cooking: Previous editions included cooking demonstrations showing EVO oil in practical gastronomic applications.

Oil and food workshops: The 2027 format is expected to continue combining tasting with food-focused educational activities. The official 2027 announcement specifically confirms guided tastings, masterclasses, tasting courses and show cooking.
