We'll do an official olive oil tasting, discuss the pressing
process to create olive oil, the health benefits of oil & vinegar, and
demonstrate creating some simple and fun gourmet dishes. Prepare for your taste
buds for some healthy delights!

Speaker: Christi Lassen and family opened
Olivia Olive Oil in Franklin, TN in 2010 as the first olive oil and
balsamic vinegar tasting store in the state. Now a few similar stores have
followed suit in the area, yet what sets Olivia apart is their dedication to
privately researching, handpicking, and sourcing their products from many
different award-winning olive groves and artisan makers around the world.

Olivia Olive Oil is
their response to a growing need and desire to enjoy the freshest, healthiest,
highest quality, and best tasting cuisine anywhere to be found. They believe in
the “farm to table” approach and that a delicious meal should come with
ease. 

Olive Oil has earned acclaim over centuries for its healing
qualities. Researchers have found evidence that olive oil cuts the risk of
heart disease, helps fight cancer, wards off arthritis and diabetes, lessens
inflammation and pain, helps memory, and much more.

Christi loves to share the experience of how to take part in a
true olive oil tasting while sharing about these health benefits, the pressing
process, and lots of fun recipe ideas! Join us to try some excellent
tasting olive oils and vinegars both as a healthy, guilt-free splurge and to
learn some fun ways to liven up your dinner table!
