Discover the truth about olive oil through guided tastings, myth-busting facts, and tips for choosing high-quality extra virgin olive oil.

Think all olive oils are the same? Think again.

Join us for The Olive Oil Exposé, a fun and eye-opening class that uncovers the real story behind extra virgin olive oil. In this interactive tasting experience, you'll learn how olive oil is made, what makes high-quality EVOO different, and how to recognize the signs of fresh, authentic olive oil.

Together we’ll explore the history of olive oil, common myths about grocery store oils, and how labeling can sometimes be misleading. You'll also learn how to taste olive oil like a professional using techniques that help reveal flavor, freshness, and quality.

Guests will participate in a blind tasting challenge, comparing different oils to see if they can spot the difference between everyday grocery store oils and premium extra virgin olive oil.

Along the way, you'll enjoy simple food pairings and small bites that highlight just how versatile olive oil can be — including a few surprising combinations.

By the end of the class, you'll walk away with the confidence to:

  • Understand what extra virgin olive oil really means
  • Recognize fresh, high-quality olive oil
  • Avoid common olive oil myths and marketing tricks
  • Taste olive oil like a pro
  • Discover new ways to enjoy olive oil at home

Whether you're a passionate home cook, a foodie, or simply curious about olive oil, this class is designed to be educational, interactive, and delicious.

Come ready to taste, learn, and discover the truth about olive oil.
