March 18th Class: Olive Oils of Italy

Ever wonder why some people get so excited about olive oils? Join us on Sunday, March 18th at 6:15 for a class on the delicious olive oils of Italy. Ilyse Rathet of Ritrovo Italian Regional Foods will be on hand to share her knowledge and first hand experiences with the producers of these wonderful, distinctly flavorful oils. Ilyse and her partner Ron Post lived in Italy for several years, studying, traveling, learning about the indigenous food and wines, and building relationships with small artisanal producers. Upon returning to the States, they started Ritrovo in order to bring the delicious work of a few producers to America. We’ll taste several new harvest oils, learn about the fruit from which they are made, and get ideas for ways to use them. You’ll never think all olive oil is the same again!
