The EVOO Exposé

Learn Why Not All Olive Oils Are Created Equal

Think all olive oils are the same? Think again.
Join us for The EVOO Exposé, an engaging and flavor-packed experience that pulls back the curtain on what’s really in your bottle. Led by an olive oil enthusiast from The Ancient Olive, this class is part tasting, part myth-busting, and all about learning to spot the real deal.

You’ll taste a curated selection of ultra-premium olive oils and compare them to common grocery store brands in a blind tasting that will forever change how you drizzle. Discover how to taste olive oil like a pro, decode misleading labels, and understand what terms like “cold-pressed” and “polyphenols” actually mean.

We’ll also enjoy small bites that showcase the versatility of high-quality oils—including a crowd favorite: olive oil over ice cream.
