Event Details
The European Union is delighted to invite you to the Technical Tasting that will take place in Marco Polo Wuhan.
The objective of this event, under European Union's "Colours by Europe" communication campaign, is to raise awareness among F&B professionals about the quality, safety and authenticity of European food and drinks, specifically meat, cheese and olives.
This event will feature three sessions in which Chef Mingliang Xiao and Sommelier Zhang Yinchi will explain the organoleptic characteristics of meat, cheese and olives paired with wines, as well as characteristics of origin and place with an emphasis on Geographical Indication (GIs) schemes in Europe. A connoisseur in cheeses, Mister Marthijn Voerman, will introduce his knowledge while explaining the main organoleptic features.
You will have the opportunity to discover three kinds of meat (pork, veal and beef), six kinds of cheese and three kinds of olives and to taste all of them!
At this end of the tasting, there will be a food blind contest where you can have the chance to win an EU gift bag including GI's products.
A Q&A session will give you the opportunity to ask questions to all experts and receive additional information about EU F&B products.
We are looking forward to welcoming you soon.
Enjoy It's From Europe!
