Olio Capitale 2027 in Trieste: Italy's extra-virgin olive oil show

Olio Capitale is Italy's leading exhibition devoted exclusively to typical and high-quality extra-virgin olive oils. Launched in Trieste eighteen editions ago, it has become a must-attend meeting point for hundreds of producers from every olive-growing region in Italy and from abroad. For three days the Trieste Convention Center hosts olive oil estates, consortia, packaging specialists and suppliers of machinery and services for the olive sector. Trade visitors can taste, compare and buy the new season's production, and take part in guided tastings, workshops, book presentations and seminars on extra-virgin olive oil and its terroirs. The event blends its professional focus with a programme open to the general public. The Oil Bar is its signature space, where guests sit at the counter and choose among hundreds of labels, sorted into monovarietal and blend flights by intensity. For B2B operators, a matchmaking service arranges pre-scheduled meetings between producers and Italian and international buyers. Trieste itself adds to the appeal: the Friuli Venezia Giulia region carries strategic weight as a gateway to Central and Eastern Europe, and the city's growing tourism scene makes it easy to extend the trip beyond the show floor.
