Interactive Olive Oil Tasting & Workshop
Hosted by Slow Food East Bay and Strictly Olive Oil
Albany Community Center 1249 Marin Ave, Albany, CA 94706
On Sunday December 8th, plan to join Slow Food East Bay for an interactive olive oil workshop and tasting focusing on the new harvest oils.
Over the course of a few hours, we’ll taste five oils paired with foods chosen to bring out the nuances of both the oil’s and food’s flavors. As we taste, we’ll learn about growing and production methods, varietal differences and get recommendations on selecting, using and storing oils. There will be plentiful time for questions.
We’re grateful to have local experts Nancy Ash of Strictly Olive Oil and Kathryn Tomajan of Fat Gold as our guides for the afternoon with Roberta Klugman adding her assistance beforehand. Between the three of them, they have milled & blended, imported, exported, tasted and judged olive oil the world over and it’s a rare opportunity to have their wealth of knowledge all together in one room!
Additionally, Kathryn’s oils will be available for sale at the workshop – an amazing opportunity, as they are normally only sold to a mailing list. They make for wonderful gifts, so you’ll be set for the holiday season!
All proceeds from this event go to benefit Slow Food East Bay and our support of organizations, farms and food entrepreneurs doing the work of bringing Good Clean and Fair food to the East Bay. We are grateful for the donation of time from our presenters and product from the various olive oil producers.
