The regulations on protocols for events in different countries and a general reluctance to travel will limit the Savantes two-day taste training programmes for a while. We will probably recommence with a programme in Australia in late 2021, and do not currently have programmes planned for the USA or Europe.
Where possible we will offer the Savantes Skills Test and Certification as an adjunct to other events. We are looking at establishing a base for the Savantes movement in Europe which will ensure its continuation well into the future.
We are also looking at franchising national championships with associated regional certification where only local olive oils are used. The International Savantes certification will have a higher status to be conferred when the prescribed scores are achieved with skills tests which include olive oils from many regions. The frequent taster’s certification will apply only to the International Associate Savantes and Savantes.
We invite expressions of interest in participation, without commitment, in the following:
- Australian Savantes 2-day Tasting Programme – possibly November 2021 in Melbourne
- 2nd World Team Tasting Championship in Portugal – open to teams of 3 from any country (including the USA and Canada)
- Organising team tasting championships in producing countries (USA)
- Organising team tasting championships in non-producing countries (Canada)
