Posted by Olivia on Mon, July 25, 2011

Are you a home cook looking to learn more about olive oil tasting, history, and chemistry? Maybe you’re an amateur chef or foodie looking to enhance your culinary smarts. Or maybe you’re a small olive grower or enthusiast. However you cut it, if olive oil is a part of your daily life, this class could be for you.

Hosted on Friday, August 19^th by our friends from the UC Davis Olive Center, the Olive Oil Sensory Evaluation Class is an in-depth introduction to olive oil tasting, coming directly from the experts. Taught by olive oil tasters Alexandra Kicenik Devarenne and Sandy Sonnenfelt, the day will be split into two seminars: the first focusing on tasting techniques, vocabulary, and olive oil attributes; and the second exploring both California and international olive varietals.

You’ll come away from the day having tasted olive oils across the gamut, gaining a new perspective of flavor profiles and proper olive oil selection. Guaranteed to be a delicious learning experience for all.
