She gave a cheese tasting and delivered more fun facts, conversation and intro to Spanish epicurean delights . Her apartment is charming and we continued with the olive oil tasting that was so enlightening and her knowledge is astounding .we learned so much and then we concluded with some more local cheeses and other things to learn how to pair different oils with different foods . She’s delightful and this is a terrific activity to add to a Seville itineraryVisited May 2024Travelled with friendsWritten May 3, 2024
- EMRRichmond, Virginia7 contributionsCome for the Olive Oil Tasting and Leave with a New Friend in Alexis!When you leave your olive oil tasting experience you will not only leave with knowledge and a greater love of olive oil, you will leave with a new friend. Alexis was beyond wonderful. Our tasting experience was me and my mom in Alexis’s home and it was like sitting down with a dear friend. Alexis is warm, inviting, funny, knowledgeable and it was an extra bonus meeting Pepe! Oh he was a doll! If you want to add a memorable experience to your trip to Seville, I highly recommend adding the Olive Oil Workshop to your itinerary. Alexis, thank you! And remember our door is always open to you and Pepe in the States!!!!Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten June 3, 2024
- Pam B2 contributionsOlive Oil 101 and BeyondWe had the perfect day in Seville! The Olive Oil Workshop experience is more than a quick tasting. Alexis strolled us through her favorite market and introduced us to local vendors and food culture. We got a delicious tasting of cheese, local meats and wine. She provided so much information about the local area and surrounding neighborhoods. As we strolled to her home for the actual workshop, she served as a tour guide and answered all our questions. Her home is lovely and she made us feel comfortable with a lot of interesting, funny stories. Alexis’ knowledge of Olive oil is amazing. She has extensive experience and training and offers all sorts of pairings with several different oil samplings. We learned so much and even my husband (who hardly knows where to find the kitchen) truly enjoyed the experience. We highly recommend!Visited September 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten September 10, 2024

Alexis is amazing and the workshop with the add-on market was incredible. Her knowledge of the Olive Oil industry and Spain in general is vast and enlightening. She made us feel incredibly welcome and even curated gluten-free foods for me due to my allergy. I can’t wait to come back to Seville to visit Alexis, it was my family’s favorite part of our trip.

While in Sevilla on a flamenco tour, it was my distinct pleasure to participate in an olive oil tasting event with Alexis held at El Pasaje. This was most certainly a highlight in a fantastic trip loaded with great experiences! Alexis has an amazing amount of knowledge about the olive oil industry and delivers it with skill. I found it quite educational and delightfully interesting. You owe it to yourself to have a workshop with Alexis!

A fascinating experience with an olive oil expert. Alexis is a wonderful teacher. Her depth of knowledge is evident. More than anything I enjoyed her humorous stories about the world of olive oil production and discovering some superb olive oils.

We loved our time with Alexis. She introduced us to other locals, showed us her favorite places to buy delicious fruits, beans and poultry. Her knowledge and passion for olive oil and olive producers was apparent from the start. Within 10 minutes it felt like we were in Sevilla with an old friend. We left with a new understanding of the variety of olives and the oil process. ❤️

If you want to learn about Spain and olive oil, this is the best way you can spend time in Seville. It’s a lesson in the culture, making, and tasting of olive oils. Forget what you think you know and learn from an expert. And have a blast at the same time.

Alexis is certified olive oil expert and she’s also an incredible teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed our workshop and learned much more about olive oil than I would have imagined. She’s delightful, full of stories, and happy to share her expertise. I highly recommend her program to anyone interested in learning more.

Wow! What a unique experience to visit Centro Cultural del Olivo Basilippo for a guided tour by Isaac Martin to learn all about growing and milling and then have an inspirational workshop with expert and olive oil ambassadoress Alexis Kerner. Learning all about olive oil on the farm where it’s produced, being able to taste the very first pressing of some oils and being guided by Alexis long experience to experience flavours and aromas and find out what to look for in an extra virgin olive oil was a truly wonderful experience! Highly, highly recommended!
