Join us as we delve into the flavors of olive oil.  Learn how to identify fresh, healthy olive oil. Bring your own olive oil to taste and see if you are experiencing the best the world has to offer.

Please refrain from eating strong foods that day, think garlic and onions, mints and gum, since we will be tasting.   All of these will affect the palate.  Also, avoid perfumes and colognes, as these interfere with not only your palate, but your neighbors'.

Bella Nonnas co-owner Carline Procell recently became a certified olive oil sommelier through The Olive Oil Times Sommelier Program. Carline now is well-versed in olive oil sensory assessment, production best practices, health and nutrition, culinary applications and quality assurance and will share some of her knowledge with us at this learning and tasting event.
