The tasting is presented as a pairing experience, not only a stand-alone olive oil sampling. OLA Extra Virgin Olive Oil is tasted alongside wine, cheese, and honey, giving the program a specific food-pairing structure.
The makers and the oil
Giulio Zavolta and Rachelle Bross are the husband-and-wife team behind Olivaia. The event description identifies them as stewards of the land and self-taught farmers, and Rachelle Bross is listed as a founder and producer connected with Olivaia.
Their olive oil is tied to a historic old-growth orchard that they rescued from destruction and re-cultivated. The century-old trees now produce fruit for their extra virgin olive oil, which the event description calls award-winning.
