Bring all your doubts and questions to this talk to learn how to interpret the visual and sensory signs of a great olive oil and ensure you are getting your money's worth. The event will include a tasting led by certified olive oil taster Orietta Gianjorio and a discussion with Italian food culture expert and cooking instructor Viola Buitoni on the best kitchen uses for different olive oils, according to their character and provenance. This event is part of the Food and Wine Series curated for the IIC by Viola Buitoni and Orietta Gianjorio. To register click here.
