La Mangiaunta

La Mangiaunta is a captivating celebration of Umbria's liquid gold that transforms the charming village of Giano dell'Umbria into a showcase of olive oil excellence. Over three days, visitors immerse themselves in the world of premium extra virgin olive oil, discovering in particular the prized San Felice monocultivar—an indigenous variety that defines and makes this Umbrian territory unique. Part of the Open Oil Mills program in Umbria, the event offers a complete and engaging experience among local mills. The program is packed with activities for all enthusiasts: guided mill tours with tastings, cooking demonstrations, workshops, and walks through the autumn countryside. Guided tastings reveal and compare different monovarietal oils—from Moraiolo to San Felice—paired with authentic local dishes: bruschetta, lentils, pinzimonio, black chickpeas with rosemary crostini, vegetable soup, and the distinctive combination of bread with local pistachios. Beyond sensory experiences, La Mangiaunta offers exhibitions, concerts, and diverse cultural attractions enriching the three-day event. An unmissable opportunity to savor authentic Umbrian olive oil traditions and take home the flavors and aromas of this fascinating territory, perhaps with a bottle of fresh oil requested upon completing your mill tour.
