About this Event

When the news about an international olive oil scandal became public knowledge, people were unsure of where to turn for "true" extra virgin olive oil. For over 20 years, Formaggio Kitchen has dedicated itself to creating and maintaining relationships with small olive oil producers from around Europe. It is these relationships (in addition to frequent visits!) that gives us confidence in the quality of every single one of our olive oil producers.

In this amazing and in-depth class, our expert instructor will use his years of experience to explain the history of olive oil, the process of production and, most importantly, he will show you how to tell the difference between "good" and "bad" olive oil. Come prepared to sample a wide range of oils served with amazing cheeses and wines.
