Olive oil is one of the most valuable edible oils, celebrated for its flavor and healthy fats. In week one (via Zoom), Professor Wang will discuss the chemical and sensory qualities of olive oil. In week two, we’ll bus over to IL Fiorello Orchards near Fairfield to explore growing, processing, tasting and a plated group lunch.
