Come and join me at SydHerbs next week (Thursday 11 May, 6pm for a 6:30pm start) as I take you on a photographic tour of olive groves and mill during harvest, talk about the health benefits of extra-virgin olive oil, smash some myths, and guide you through a tasting of 3 different ultra-premium, single varietal extra-virgin olive oils. It will be educational and a load of fun!
The amazing olive tree has given us both food and medicine for more than 6,000 years. However, myths and misunderstandings persist. What is extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)? What about adulteration? Can you cook with olive oil? How much should we have every day? Are all olive leaf extracts the same, and do they actually work?
Ian will answer these questions and more. You will take a photographic tour of the groves during harvest and oil production, learn about quality issues and adulteration, receive a summary of the research on the health benefits of EVOO and olive leaf extract, and learn how not all olive leaf extracts are equivalent.
Ian will also host a tasting workshop where participants will be able to experience the wonder of single varietal extra-virgin olive oils and learn about the different flavour profiles and how to judge a quality olive oil.
Bookings are essential.
