Wondering about the variety and differences in olive oils lining the aisles of gourmet markets? Join us to taste and learn more!
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.


To fully participate in the class:
1. Reserve your ticket through Eventbrite! Purchase one ticket for each member of your party. The ticket price includes admission for one as well as a cheese plate and accompaniments for one.
2. Show up on the day of class! Class will begin at 6:30pm. This is a standing event in our retail learning setting. The duration of the class is about an hour and a half. After class, there will be time to shop our expansive product selection (at a 10% discount!).
3. This event is for 21+. Our staff ill check IDs at the door.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please reach out to [email protected] when you make your reservation if you or a member of your party has any food allergies or dietary restrictions or requires seating.
