Course Title: (CUL203) OLIVE OIL AND THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET

This class uses a random draw waitlist selection for participation, with participants being notified on January 27, 2026. If selected, you'll be notified and must pay a $25 culinary fee to confirm your spot. If not selected, you'll stay on the waitlist and will be contacted if a space opens.

Please do not show up unless you've been confirmed and paid - stand by admittance is no longer allowed.

In this fun, educational and flavorful class, Olive Oil Sommelier-Suzanne, will guide you through the fascinating history of olive oil and the essentials of following the Mediterranean Diet in your own daily life. You'll then explore a guided tasting of extra virgin olive oils-an enlightening progression that reveals the fruitiness, bitterness, and pungency that define truly great oils. Along the way, you'll enjoy fresh hummus, seasonal fall salads, and healthy nibbles.
