2nd Annual Olive Oil Conference Recap - Day 1

We had a great time kicking off the olive oil conference yesterday in Rosemont, IL. 

Attendees including olive oil importers, producers, retailers, press and enthusiasts were treated to a tasting of 5 award winning extra virgin olive oils. The tasting was led by Simon Field, founder of Savantes.  All attendees expanded their knowledge of olive oil and appreciated tasting the range of excellent extra virgin olive oils.
