Conclusion de la 18e édition du cours d’expert universitaire en évaluation organoleptique de l’huile d’olive vierge

Dans le cadre de son programme de coopération technique et de formation, le Conseil oléicole international avait sélectionné 25 étudiants pour bénéficier d’une bourse en vue de participer au cours de spécialisation universitaire en évaluation organoleptique de l’huile d’olive vierge (diplôme d’expert universitaire) organisé par l’Université de Jaén.

Finalement, 23 boursiers, venus d’Algérie, d’Argentine, d’Égypte, de Grèce, d’Iran, d’Italie, de Jordanie, de Libye, du Maroc, du Monténégro, d’Espagne, de Tunisie et de Turquie, ont suivi le cours avec le soutien du COI.

Cette formation vise à enseigner aux étudiants les bases théoriques et la méthode d’évaluation organoleptique de l’huile d’olive, les facteurs et les attributs positifs et négatifs qui déterminent la qualité organoleptique des huiles d’olive et leur relation avec les processus de culture, d’élaboration et avec d’autres paramètres physico-chimiques généraux de contrôle de la qualité. D’une durée de trois mois, ce cours, imparti en espagnol et en anglais, avait débuté le 27 septembre 2021 et s’est achevé le 22 décembre.
