Cibolio Experience

Cibolio Experience is an event dedicated to celebrating extra virgin olive oil, local gastronomy, and regional excellence, designed to promote an authentic, slow, and sustainable way to discover Lazio. Held in the historic village of Maenza, nestled in the Monti Lepini mountains, the festival unfolds along an olive oil and culinary trail set between the Castello Baronale and Piazza del Duomo, offering direct encounters with local EVOO producers and artisanal food makers. Extra virgin olive oil serves as the common thread running through a wide range of tastings and culinary creations, with pairings spanning pasta dishes, cured meats, local meats, vegetables, desserts, and even specialty cocktails, all served alongside regional wines and craft beers. The festival's rich program also features engaging educational and experiential activities: outdoor pursuits through the village and olive groves, in-depth EVOO masterclasses, culinary and natural cosmetics workshops, show cooking sessions, and insightful talks focused on olive oil tourism, health, and wellness.
