- Description
What do you know about olive oil? It's good for us, yes! But what else do you know about extra virgin olive oil (evoo)?
Tamara, a certified OO sommelier from Agape Premium is going to walk us through important factors we should know when buying, tasting, and using extra virgin olive oil. We will taste and talk about olive varieties and terroir. We will also talk about cooking, usage, and storage for optimal health benefits. Come hungry to learn and eat! We'll make some dipping oils to taste and of course, wine and nibbles to share.
The second half of our workshop will focus on making your own garlic grating dish. We'll have leather-hard small plates for you to paint with slips and underglazes, using sgrafitto tools to make ridges and patterns. Don't worry, we'll show you how!
